The Chick's Fabulous Pasta! (fondly referred to as "Chick's Pasta")
6 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
2 tbsp. tarragon flakes, (fresh is amazing)
1/2 c. flour
pepper to taste
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 c. white wine
2 c. (28 oz.) tomatoes, diced or mushed
1 can black olives, no pits, drained
1 can artichokes (slice in quarters or bite size pieces)
12 mushrooms
garlic (to taste)

Cut up chicken in bite size pieces, roll in mixture of flour, tarragon, pepper and brown (good and golden) in butter and olive oil. Set aside in a dutch oven or large oven skillet. Add white wine and deglaze the pan, pour over chicken. (mmm) Saute mushrooms with garlic until tender (don't overpower this dish with garlic, I use enough to flavor but not dominate), add artichokes, olives, tomatoes and gently stir together. Pour over chicken, cover, Bake in oven for 45 minutes at 325. Check to not burn, the idea is to thoroughly heat. Serve over pasta. (You can save the baking until the next day by covering the dish and putting in the refrig.) Bon appetit!
