Italian chicken casserole is an easy one pot meal that can be made in under an hour.  Pieces of chicken are simmered together with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and potatoes.  At the end of the cooking process, you are left with a  delicious concentrated broth.  This richly flavored dish should be served over a bed of soft polenta or white rice.  When you don't know what to make for dinner, try this recipe.
Italian Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:



1 medium Frying Chicken, cut into parts
9 ounces Onions
Olive oil
2 cups Dry white wine (plus more if necessary)
8 ounces Fresh Mushrooms
3 mediums Tomatoes, cut into quarters
3 larges Potatoes, peeled and sliced
Pinch of dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Return the onions and mushrooms to the pan and add the white wine, tomatoes and sliced potatoes.


   
Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and a good pinch of oregano.


   
Let simmer, over medium heat for about 30 minutes, or until potatoes are soft and chicken juices run clear.


   
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

This recipe seemed to take forever to complete.  It turned out okay, but sadly the flavor wasn't worth the time.
