The dish features tender chicken breasts sautéed to perfection and then topped with a zesty and tangy lemon sauce. The history of Chicken Limone dates back to the traditional Italian cuisine, where the use of fresh lemons and herbs was prevalent in coastal cooking. Renowned chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized this dish in their restaurants, bringing it to the forefront of Italian-American cuisine.
