Directions
Exotic or traditional, recipes with chicken are always an option that everyone agrees on! If the dish is as stringy and juicy as our Pollo alla pizzaiola, success is assured!
We were inspired by the sauce of meat pizzaiola flavored with oregano and added slices of mozzarella, which with its stringy touch at the end of cooking will make the chicken breasts a real delicacy. Capers will also give an extra kick to this inviting preparation.
Here is the recipe for this delicious dish. As usual, we look forward to reading your comments!

Slice the mozzarella cheese as well [4], let it drain in a colander so that it loses some excess whey. Crush a clove of garlic and brown it in a nonstick skillet with a drizzle of oil [5]. Brown the chicken breasts for about 3 minutes per side, over high heat so that they take on some color [6]. Remove the garlic clove and season with salt and pepper. |
