Chicken Marengo was supposedly served to Napoleon after the battle of Marengo in Italy in 1800. Don’t know if that’s really true, but I can tell you that it’s delicious. It can be served over french bread, but we like it over rice.
1 whole chicken, chopped up and skinned
salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced or pressed (or 1 tsp minced)
1 cup dry white wine
1 14-1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounces mushrooms, washed, dried and sliced
1 tablespoon cognac (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
As most crock pot meals, this recipe is fairly simple.Mix salt, pepper and flour in a bowl and dredge chicken breasts in it. Saute breasts in butter and oil until brown. Place in crock pot. Add onion and garlic to pan and saute about 5 minutes. Add rest of ingredients, except fresh basil. Stir and pour over chicken. Cook on LOW 6-8 hours or HIGH 4-6 hours. Add fresh basil about 30 minutes before serving. If using dried basil, add along with other ingredients. Serve over bread or rice.
