This recipe comes from a trattoria hidden away on a small side street in Florence. Lisa and her children used to go there often- in fact, Lisa’s youngest son Guido became known as the terremoto, the earthquake, by the owners and staff, thanks to an episode involving his stroller, eager small hands, and clean silverware (you can hear Lisa share this family memory in the full recipe video on YouTube here). This recipe is all buttery goodness- enjoy with your treasured family and friends! Buon Appetito e Tutti a Tavola!

Lisa’s Chicken from Sostanza in Florence Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the butter, sautéing until golden brown and crispy, 4-5 minutes per side.

Transfer the breasts to a large baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, until cooked through. Pour the butter remaining in the skillet over the chicken.
