      Title: Chicken Merengo
 Categories: Poultry, Family favs
      Yield: 4-6 Servings

      3 lb Chicken; in serving pieces
           Salt and pepper
           Flour
    1/4 c  Butter
    1/4 c  Olive oil (not virgin)
      1 cl Garlic; minced
      2 tb Flour
      1 lb Can tomatoes
      1 c  Dry white wine
      6 oz Can sliced mushrooms

  Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper and roll in flour.
  Heat butter and oil in large skillet. Add chicken and brown on all
  sides. Remove from skillet and place pieces in single layer in a
  shallow baking dish. Add garlic to skillet and saute till soft.
  Stir flour into pan drippings, add tomatoes broken up with juice
  and wine and stir briskly over med-high heat until sauce bubbles
  and thickens. Add mushrooms.

  Pour sauce over chicken. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 40 to
  45 minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve sprinkled with finely
  chopped chives.

  Note: We (myself and five siblings) all loved this dish when we
  were kids. It was only when I grew up and made it myself that I
  realized what a sophisticated yet easy dish it was. My mom always
  doubled the recipe to feed our large gang and I think it freezes
  good as well. No idea where the recipe originated, though it more
  than likely was taken from a 60's copy of Women's Day magazine.
