Archive for the ‘Francie's Chicken’ Category

This chicken was made for me by my friend Francie about 20 years ago (ugh!) and I loved it them and now.  Good for company because you can make it in advance and leave it on the stove while you get ready!  Thanks Francie…

Ingredients:

Bone in chicken, amount of your choice, skinless

1 large onion, chopped or 1 container already chopped

1 green pepper chopped or 1 container

8 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

1 or 2 pints fresh mushrooms, sliced

dried oregano, 2 teaspoons

dried sweet basil, 2 teaspoons

dried parsley, 2 teaspoons

3/4 cup green pimiento stuffed olives

1 small jar capers, drained

2 medium potatoes cut into tiny chunks

This dish is cooked in one pot stovetop.  Saute salted chicken in small amount of  olive oil or spray.  When a bit brown on both sides add onion, green pepper and garlic. Saute on medium, adding mushrooms, continue saute and add oregano, basil, parsley, bay leaf , salt and pepper.  Add white wine, olives and capers, along with tiny potato chunks.  Cover and cook on low 30 minutes or until potatoes are cooked. (sometimes the potatoes need extra cooking time to soften) Serve over pasta and top with Romano cheese.  Peas are an excellent side for this.
