“You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
Yogi Berra

"Believe it or not, American’s eat 75 acres of pizza a day."
Boyd Matson

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chicken Italiano

 

Ingredients

14 oz tomatoes, canned
1/2 tsp basil, dried
1/2 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground
2 tsp butter, oil or marjarine
1 garlic clove finely chopped
2 lb chicken pieces, skinned
2 tbsp parsley chopped or 2 tsp dry
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded



 

Preparation

Original recipe calls for chicken breast with bones. Because of the
sauce, it is easier to eat with bones removed. A good dish to make
with a whole utility frying chicken. Bones and skin can be cooked up
in a separate pot for stock.

Pour tomatoes into container of a blender or food processor. Add
basil, tarragon, salt and papper. Puree until smooth. Melt margarine
in a large frypan. Saute garlic over medium heat 1 min. (or mix in
1/2 tsp garlic powder with other spices)

Add chicken pieces, saute, turning once or twice until golden on both
sides. Cover with tomato mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer 15 min until tender. Remove chicken and place in a warm
oven-proof dish. Stir parsley into sauce and spoon over chicken.
Sprinkle with Mozzarella. Place under heated broiler 1 min just until
cheese melts.

Or place on a microwave-safe dish and melt cheese in microwave. Or
sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
