I’m a number one fan of the simple recipes, exquisite and above all cheap. In the one that I present to you this week, its star ingredient is chicken, flavored with herbs and with lots of garlic.
There are numerous cuneiform records that speak of garlic, which is believed to have been cultivated in Mesopotamia for at least 4,000 years. The use of garlic in China and Egypt also dates back thousands of years.
As a curious fact, well preserved garlic was found in the grave of Tutankhamen (1325 AC). It was consumed by ancient Greek and Roman soldiers, sailors, and the rural classes in ancient Europe, Asia, and Africa.
This is a classic dish from the traditional cuisineSpanish l that can be presented either as a tapa or as a main dish.
In this recipe, as you can see, we have two ingredients very healthy, chicken and garlic that make a combination perfect Y delicious.
