A recipe my mother-in-law Maria prepared with extreme patience and love, and which my children, from the time they were young, have always called "Yellow Chicken" because of its golden-yellow color. The perfect name that also reflects the happy, sunny mood this dish created for them each time grandmother Maria would make it.
Ingredients: 1 free-range chicken of approx. 1-1/2 kg, 2 eggs, salt, 1 lemon, breadcrumbs, Moletto Extra-virgin olive oil Integrale.
To prepare: Cut the chicken into even, medium-sized pieces. Season the eggs with salt and beat, adding the lemon juice. Add the chicken pieces and let marinate for 1 hour.
In a non-stick pan, heat a ¾-in layer of extra-virgin olive oil.
Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumbs, pressing to have the crumbs stick. Add to the hot oil and cook, simmering gently, for 1 hour.
