Ingredients:


8 whole chicken breasts -- split

1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil

1/2 cup dry white wine

2 cloves garlic -- crushed

1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley - chopped

1 teaspoon dried leaf oregano -- crumbled

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1/8 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes

1/3 cup parmesan cheese -- grated

1/3 cup fresh spinach leaves - steamed

2 cups hot cooked rice

1 medium red bell pepper strips
 

Preparation / Directions:


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. [Family Circle GREAT IDEAS Vol 12 No 4]
