My favorite for company. It is said that Chicken Marengo was created by Napoleon's chef in 1800 after the Battle of Marengo. He created this from the ingredients he had- one small chicken, tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic. This recipe was adapted by Norma Patelunas from Florida. It was in the Southern Living in the late 1970s.
