Our Bible study group started up once again after the summer break. Our group likes to “break bread” together and we all enjoy bringing food and eating together before the sessions start. I was assigned a main meal this week. I fed everyone some rustic Italian chicken with vegetables. In part, it was inspired by what did I have in my fridge that needs to get used before we go. And it just flowed from there. 🙂
Chicken is always a good thing to serve since a lot of people are opting out of beef these days. And you can’t go wrong with Italian food either. We all love Italian.
I started off by marinating the chicken in wine for about 2-3 hours before cooking it. I also added some onions, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, olives, garlic, herbs and seasoning to the marinating mix.
When everything was ready, it was time to preheat the oven to 400* F or 205* C. I roasted everything for about 30 or so minutes, then added the more delicate vegetables, like the tomatoes and artichoke hearts, as well as a little provolone cheese to top the chicken pieces after I flipped them over, then put it all back in the oven again for another 20 or so minutes.
Right before I covered it to take with me, I added some chiffonade basil to the top. And Voila! Dinner was ready to go. It was yet another big hit that was enjoyed by all. AND …. I was able to use up a lot of the items in my fridge that would not make it until we return home. In my book, this is a win/win. A delicious one at that too. 🙂
Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
