Chicken Italiano Recipe

14.00 oz Tomatoes, canned
0.50 ts Basil, dried
0.50 ts Tarragon
0.50 ts Salt
0.25 ts Pepper, freshly ground
2.00 ts Butter, oil or marjarine
1.00 Garlic clove finely chopped
2.00 lb Chicken pieces, skinned
2.00 tb Parsley chopped or 2 tsp dr
0.50 c Mozzarella cheese, shredded

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.
