Chicken breasts milano

Yield: 8 servings

Measure Ingredient
8 \N Whole chicken breasts, split
½ cup Olive or vegetable oil
½ cup Dry white wine
2 \N Cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon Fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon Dried leaf oregano, crumbled
\N \N Salt
\N \N Pepper
⅛ teaspoon Crushed red-pepper flakes (or more)
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
\N \N Fresh spinach leaves, steamed
\N \N Hot cooked rice
\N \N Red bell pepper strips

Mix oil, wine, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper (to taste).

Marinate chicken in a shallow pan, covered, for several hours or overnight. Remove chicken and reserve marinade. Place breasts, skin- side up in 1 or 2 roasting pans; do not crowd. Brush with part of reserved marinade. Bake in 375 F oven, basting occasionally with marinade, for 40 minutes until skin is crisp. Sprinkle part of Parmesan over the chicken and return to oven just until Parmesan begins to turn golden. Line a warm platter with steamed spinach leaves, then with rice. Arrange chicken breasts on top and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Garnish with red pepper strips.

(NOTE: Chicken breasts can be grilled about 4 inches from coals for 20 minutes, turning and basting with marinade until chicken is golden.)

Makes 8 servings.
