Growing up, I was fortunate to have a mom who loved trying different dishes; my father would often look at his plate in amazement and ask, “O…que é isto?” (Um…what is this?). But being a good sport and a closet foodaholic he devoured everything…Italian, Mexican, Asian, French…mom crossed the globe a few times over in her kitchen. Then there were the “favorites” - like “Frango com Limão”, an old Portuguese recipe that filled the house with a wonderful smell and never disappointed.

I had forgotten about Frango com Limão until, I recently stumbled on an award winning Vinho Verde. Maybe because the days are starting to cool and the thought of comfort food is closing in again, or maybe it’s because I’m trying to hold on to my Verdes as long as possible. Either way the wines description of “citrus and tropical flavours” sparked an immediate thought of Frango com Limão and what the two would taste like together. The result was wonderful, and from Moses’ reaction, Lemon chicken is a favorite all over again.

This is a very flavorful recipe that makes you feel like your cheating, but the results are so good… you get over it quickly with a great glass of Vinho Verde. Its fast, easy, looks impressive and tastes great every time.
