Chicken Saute Recipe

(Pollo saltato)

Take a young chicken, remove the neck and trim the wings. Cut away the

legs. Cut the chicken into six pieces. Remove some of the bones. Beat

an egg with a teaspoonful of water and place in it the pieces of chicken

after dipping them in flour and seasoning generously with salt and

pepper. Leave the pieces in the egg until it is time for cooking. Then

take the pieces one by one, sprinkle with bread crumbs and place a

saucepan with a good piece of butter on the fire. When the butter begins

to brown put in the pieces of chicken from the side of the skin, then

turn them when browned to the other side. Let them on a good fire for

about ten minutes. Serve with lemon. The chicken prepared in this way is

good also when cold.
