Directions: |
Directions:In a small bag, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Shake chicken pieces to coat completely. In a wide frying pan over medium heat, melt 3 T. butter. Add chicken and cook until well browned. With a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a shallow 3-qt. casserole or 9”x13” baking dish. Pour off and discard all but 3 T. of the pan juices. Add mushrooms, onion, green peppers, and garlic to pan. Cook until onion is soft. Stir in parsley, wine, broth, tomato paste, salt, marjoram, oregano, and thyme. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken pieces. Bake, covered, in a 350º oven for 30 minutes. Remove the cover, and bake for 20 more minutes or until thigh meat near the bone is no longer pink when slashed.
Cook the spaghetti pasta per pkg directions. Drain well. Toss with the remaining T. butter, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Spoon sauce over pasta, and top with chicken. |

Notes: I recently (Jan. 2, 2020) this recipe. Instead of using a cut up chicken fryer, I used 4 large chicken breasts that I needed to use. It was good with the breasts, but chicken breasts don’t have the flavor of chicken thighs, so next time I will try with thighs, probably skinless/ boneless. Using the 4 chicken breasts also made too much meat for the amount of sauce. I would definitely cut down on the amount of
Meat, and increase the amount of sauce. This could also be made without any chicken at all... a vegetarian dish, and would be delicious. I would also really cook the onions/ peppers in the skillet so they are VERY soft before going into the oven. I served it over egg noodles.
