Traffic Light Dish

chicken dish

What a weird name for a dish, right? Well, here is the story: I used to cook this dish for my kids and it never had a name. Once a little friend of my son came home with us after pre-school and we had this for lunch. She liked it very much and asked, what it is called. I looked at it and thought: Well, it has the colors red, yellow, and green, just like a traffic light, so we decided to call it “Ampel-Menรผ” (Ampel = traffic light).

It’s still a kid’s favorite and it is quickly cooked, doesn’t break the bank and is healthy, too. I cooked it yesterday and decided to take some pictures and share it with you. Not a German classic but delicious anyway!

I serve this meal with some bread, either fresh from the bakery or oven baked. Usually, it’s a baguette. Feels like in France!

Make sure you have the parsley, it is very important for the taste!
