Your parents' version sounds delicious too. We're particularly happy to hear about it because we're at a point where we're spending a lot of time thinking about what <u>really</u> constitutes "Italian-American Cuisine" after all. Is it the stuff you get in neighborhood restaurants, or is it <i>la cucina casalinga</i>, home cooking? Home cooking sounds more interesting, and it's certainly more expansive. Thanks again for your feedback. Skip Thanks, Jackie. Your parents’ version sounds delicious too.

My mom and dad made it a little different. Instead of having it with spaghetti, it was made with cubed potatoes, probably because of my dad's love of potatoes. The chicken was partially cooked on the stove (breaded or floured), then placed in the oven in a cooking pan atop a bed of potatoes, garlic, onions and other seasoning. The marinara sauce covered the top. When done, the potatoes had been infused with the juices of the chicken, sauce, onion, garlic and seasoning. Also added at the end was cheese sprinked over the top. This recipe sounds delish Skip. My mom and dad made it a little different.

About the same time in England a dish called chicken marengo was popular: chicken, tomatoes, onion, garlic, green pepper and mushrooms. It had little to do with the chicken marengo with fried eggs and crawfish described in Larousse Gastronomique. But it used newly cheap chicken, canned tomatoes, and exotic pepper and mushrooms. It was very fashionable for dinner parties among the young and trendy. Interesting Skip.
