What I'm thinking about for dinner tonight
Buca di Beppo Chicken Cacciatore
One of my favorite recipes, this was printed by Fox13 and is supposedly the recipe used by Buca di Beppo. It's very close, and here are my variations on it to make it easier.
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Red Potatoes 2 lbs.
Soft Butter 1 lb.
Romano Cheese 5 ounces
Oregano 1 Tbsp.
Salt 3/4 Tbsp.
Chopped Garlic 1/4 cup
Wash your potatoes and boil until soft. Add potatoes and the rest of the ingredients to a mixer and mix on low speed until potatoes are mashed.
Chicken
4 chicken breasts
Red onions, sliced 5 ounces
Capers 1 ounce
Mushrooms, quartered 7 ounces
Oregano 1 tsp.
Sherry 3 ounces
Marinara 16 ounces
Olive oil 3 ounces
Garlic 2 ounces
Bake chicken at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat olive oil. Add garlic, onions, and mushrooms. Saute until onions become tender. Add capers, oregano, and sherry. Once half the sherry has cooked out, add the marinara sauce and reduce by a third. On a large platter, place a ring of mashed potatoes just inside the rim. Place chicken on the potatoes. Top chicken with sauce.

1 POUND OF BUTTER!!
I'll BET they taste great. But then you'd have to endure the hospital food after your heart attack!

I have to say, I usually go with two sticks of butter, which may even be excessive, and it tastes just fine to me :)
