This recipe is from Croatian culinary TV show called “Food from forgotten times”. The recipe is from island Hvar. It may sound rough, but when you cooked it you will taste delicate chicken meal. Since the recipe is before America was discovered, there are no tomatoes or potatoes, so as side dish serve rice or flour noodles or just pasta (penne, rigatoni or spaghetti) or nothing but bread.
