Italian Chicken Over Rice ...p54

So Superbowl Sunday brings out the cool Brees with a Saints amazing win over the Colts.  Whodat Nation uprising!!!  A crazy day dashed my ambition to prepare some snacks, and without a crowd coming over, I said, "ok, who cares?" Well, the family did - unfortunately, the day before they snacked on my chips for Kimber's 7-layer dip, hence that recipe was eliminated from our Superbowl line-up. 

While the first two quarters raged on, I prepared the Italian Chicken, Healthy Potato Skins and Pecan Tassies....all finished appropriately for a half-time dinner.  I was a little frazzled, but not nearly as much as the Colts!

Back to Italian Chicken over Rice....what can I say?  I love chestnuts.  I love chicken.  and I love anything Italian. Try it, you will too.  I did have to guess at the quantities, as the ingredient list was either left off the recipe or intended for one or hundred :-)

Hardy Appetit!
