Hera

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken cubes in flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and brown in the hot oil. Once the chicken is browned on all sides, squeeze the juice from one lemon over the cubes. Stir in the capers, olives and anchovy paste, and cook for at least 5 minutes to mingle the flavors, and cook the chicken.
When chicken is no longer pink, add the diced tomatoes, juice from the remaining lemon, salt, and pepper. Add pasta and cheese to the pan, and cook, stirring just until heated through.

Hera var  eiginkona Seifs og dóttir Krónusar og Rheu. Var hún verndargyðja hjónabanda, stundum kölluð gyðja fæðinga, brúðkaupa, erfingja, konunga og var húndrottning himnanna. Grikkjum þótti hún virðuleg kona, fagurlokkaða með höfuðdjásn og slör. Heru leist  ekki á að Seifur maður sinn svæfi með öðrum konum en sér og ásótti oft ástarmeyjarnar og óskilgetin börn hans. Helsta heilögu dýr Heru var Páfuglinn, gaukur, kvíga. í fyrstu fegurðarsamkeppninni tapaði hún fyrir fegurðargyðjunni Afródítu. Helstu afkomendur hennar eru Ares, Eris, Hefaistos og Hepa.
