Chicken Italiano Recipe Instructions :

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.
