Total time prep and cooking: 35 to 40 minutes
Serves 4

1. Use a large saucepan big enough to hold the chicken pieces.

2. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan placed on medium heat. When butter and oil mixture is hot , add the onion and cook stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and golden. Add the parsley and cook for 1 minute more.

3. With a spoon move the onion mixture to the edge of the pan creating a circle in which to saute the chicken. Add the pieces of chicken, cooking until they are golden in color.

4. Add the water, mushrooms, basil, rosemary, bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and return to simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.

5. Remove the lid. Add 1/2 cup of wine, raise the heat to low and cook for 10 more minutes, or until the chicken is tender. If the liquid cooks down too much, you may add a little more wine if necessary.

6. Italian Chicken Tuscany Style is good served with a side of mashed potatoes, and a tossed salad. If you are in rush use a bagged and washed salad tossed with our favorite olive oil salad dressing recipe.

Fresh berries of any type topped with a dollop of cream whipped with ginger and cinnamon for dessert finishes the meal.

May you have 100 years of life, love, health and happiness!
