Ingredients:

• 1 chicken, cut into small pieces
• 800 g (28 oz) of squid, cut into pieces
• 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of clams, soaked in cold salted water for 2 hours
• 80 ml (2.7 fl oz) of olive oil
• 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Chopped parsley, to taste
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
   Make sure the seasoning is well incorporated into the meat.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil and garlic over medium heat.
   Stir and let it heat up.
   Add the chicken and fry until the meat is cooked, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally for even frying.
   Once the chicken is fried, remove it to a plate.
3. To the remaining fat in the pot, add the squid.
   Stir and cook for about 10 minutes until fried.
   Once the squid is cooked, add the chicken back into the pot and stir.
   Let the chicken heat up.

   Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
   Stir and cook until the clams open. Once the clams have opened, remove from heat and serve.
