Simple Chicken Stew

with Lemon and Rosemary

Cubetti di pollo al rosmarino

Adding white bread to this simple chicken stew with lemon and rosemary gives the sauce a rich creamy texture with very few extra calories. At the same time it helps to neutralize the lemon juice a little, so the flavour becomes complex herbal and savoury in an elegant, understated kind of way. The result is an incredibly delicious dinner dish that can be prepared in about 15 minutes.
