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
Directions
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.
