Drunken Italian Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pkg. (Family Size) precut chicken

  • 1 Med. Green Pepper, cut into thin strips

  • 1 Med. size sweet Onion, chopped

  • 1 Small Garlic Clove, diced

  • 1/4 teaspoon Oregano

  • 1/4 teaspoon Sweet Basil

  • 2 tablespoons Virgin Olive Oil

  • 1 lg. jar Your own favorite Sauce
    (OR Paul Newman's Thick Spaghetti Sauce)

  • 1 pkg. Shredded Mozarella Cheese

  • 1 large pkg. Angel Hair Pasta

  • Sangria Wine (fruity, red wine) 

    • DIRECTIONS:
Pre-fry the onions, green pepper and garlic in olive 
oil until tender.  Remove and save for later.
In the same skillet, add a tad more olive oil, if 
needed, and pre-fry the chicken until golden brown.
In a large 13 X 10 baking dish, oil the bottom first, 
then place the chicken evenly over the bottom.
With a fork, prick holes into the chicken and pour on 
1/2 cup of wine.  Mix the vegetables with the sauce, 
and spread over the chicken.  Bake in a 325 degree 
oven about 1 hour or until the chicken tests tender 
with a fork.  Halfway through the baking process, 
pour another 1/2 cup of wine over the chicken.  
10 minutes before finishing, sprinkle on the cheese.
Boil the pasta, strain, and serve the chicken and 
sauce over it. Enjoy!  
We usually serve this with salad and garlic bread. 
Serves: 6 


    COMMENTS: 
This was a recipe created by my Mother and Father. 
Make sure that the wine is an inexpensive one and of 
a "fruity' boquet, since you aren't drinking it but 
using it for flavor only (the alcohol cooks away!)
