Today, it’s a privilege to bring you a special recipe all the way from Spain:  Mediterranean Chicken Bites, courtesy of Victoria Twead, author of “Chickens, Mules & Two Old Fools” as well as her new book, “Two Old Fools – Ole!” now available on Amazon.com!

Mediterranean Chicken Bites For One (with thanks to Gayle from Orce Seranno Hams, Spain.)

Homemade mini chicken bites, Mediterranean style, with hints of garlic and lemon, delicious served with creamy mashed potatoes and seasonal veg. The calories are probably a bit naughty, but we should indulge ourselves occasionally, don’t you think?

Ingredients:

• 1 chicken breast
• 2 cloves garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Flour

Directions:

1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
2. Place the chicken into a bowl, add the olive oil, the juice of two lemons and the garlic, peeled and crushed.
3. Leave to marinade for 2 – 3 hours in the fridge.
4. Once marinated, roll the chicken pieces in the flour, shake off the excess and fry in hot olive oil for about 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown and tender.
5. Sprinkle with a little salt, serve with alioli (garlic mayonnaise) or tomato salsa
