Recipe


Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soften for 5 minutes, then squeeze dry. Set aside.

Pat the chicken pieces dry and discard excess fat and skin. In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the margarine and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. In it saute the chicken pieces over mediums heat, afew at a time, until lightly golden. Season lightly with salt and pepper. As they are browned, transfer all of the pieces, except the breasts, to a roasting pan just large enough too hold them in a single layer, 3, placing the pieces skin side down.

Preheat the oven to 400-degrees F.

Add another tablespoon margarine and olive oil to the skillet and saute the onions and garlic over low heat until soft. Place the sun-dried tomatoes, onions, garlic, remaining olive oil, olives, parsley, lemon juice, and wine in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or blender, and puree finely.

Coat the chickens with half of the puree, cover the pan with heavy foil and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken, add the breasts, skin side up, and coat with the remaining puree. Cover and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear.

TO SERVE: Arrange the chicken pieces on a serving dish and spoon the sauce over them.
