Italian Translation Chicken

February 6, 2010 in Recipes by Annacia

Good home cooking with an a flavor that will please the family. This could also be easily done in the crock pot while you are away (or just busy). Just put it in the pot and set on low for about 6 – 7 hrs and pull the bones out while you have the noodles or rice cooking. To complete the meal have a crisp green salad with your favorite dressing and a dessert of amaretti cookies and strawberry ice cream would be just perfect.
