Get yourself a good organic chicken breast*. In Italy, fortunately many small farmers avoid antibiotics or feed chickens with GMOs. I Bought these two (in photo), one from conventional supermarket and the other from a trusted butcher. See how obvious is the difference between an industrial and free-range chicken:

Ingredients | 2 servings

• 1 Chicken breast
• pinch Saffron
• 1 Lime or Lemon
• pinch of salt
• Olive oil extra virgin

Preparation

– Cut the chicken in big strips of 1 inch/1.5cm thickness

– In a small glass, add a pinch of saffron and pour 2tbsp of hot boiling water wait ⏳5 mins till it color turns red.

➡️ We’ll add salt later, to keep the chicken’s juice.

– In a bowl, mix the the chicken with 1 lime juice (or lemon).

– Add the saffron water and a drizzle of olive oil & mix.

– It should rest at room temperature for ⏳ 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill pan, add salt and pepper to the chicken and start to grill right after. Cook each side of chicken for 2-3 minutes (it depends on how thick is the chicken breast).

Taste to check it’s consistency and salt before removing from pan.

Serve it right away!

Notes

• The lemon helps the meat to tenderize.
• Lemon and saffron mixture are a classic marinate for chicken kababs in Iran.

Buon appetito. ☺️
