Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, mix flour, salt and pepper until well blended. Coat chicken in flour mixture; shake off excess flour. In 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add coated chicken to oil; cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Place chicken in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish; set aside.
  2. In same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, celery and garlic; cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in 3 tablespoons of the Italian parsley, 2 teaspoons of the lemon peel, the tomatoes and chicken broth; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Pour tomato mixture over chicken. Cover with foil; bake 45 to 50 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F).
  3. Cook and drain pasta as directed on box. Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add bread crumbs; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown; remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and remaining 1 teaspoon lemon peel. Serve chicken over pasta; sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.

Recipe Tips

  • For mushroom lovers, stir 8-oz sliced crimini mushrooms into tomato mixture.
  • Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be substituted for the bone-in chicken thighs.
