Chicken Valentine
Pairs well with:
You might accompany this with fresh asparagus and wild rice. Serves six
Ingredients:
3.5 pounds skinless/boneless chicken breasts
5 medium cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons olive oil
A pinch fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon tarragon
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon marjoram
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc or white wine
1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
3 oz pancetta, 1/8 inch thick, cut into 1” pieces
Preparation:
Cut chicken into pieces about 3x3 inches in size. Place pieces in a shallow baking dish so that they touch each other & fill the pan. Coat chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic, pepper and herbs. Turn chicken pieces and rub seasonings onto all surfaces. Allow it to marinade for a least one hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. Place in 375°F oven and roast for 20 minutes. Add pancetta, tucking between pieces of chicken and roast for another 20 minutes. Add the chicken broth, wine & olives and continue baking until chicken is tender when pierced with a fork – about 30 minutes more.
