Italian Dishes....?

Question

I need help....when I was in Toronto a couple years ago I went to an Italian restruant across from the bus terminal, what I ordered had Rigatoni, chicken, musrooms, and some kind of chicken base sauce...Can anyone tell me what it is called and how to make it...It was the best Italian Dish I ever had.

Answer 1

You may have had chicken marsala over rigatoni. Here's a recipe for chicken marsala:

1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 C flour
4 chicken breasts, boned, skinless (5 ounces)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 C Marsala wine
1/2 C chicken stock, skim fat from top
juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
1/2 C sliced mushrooms
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Mix together pepper, salt, and flour. Coat chicken with seasoned flour.
In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat oil. Place chicken breasts in skillet and brown on both sides. Then remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
To the skillet, add wine and stir until the wine is heated. Add juice, stock, and mushrooms. Stir to toss, reduce heat, and cook for about 10 minutes until the sauce is partially reduced.
Return browned chicken breasts to skillet. Spoon sauce over the chicken.
Cover and cook for about 5-10 minutes or until chicken is done.
Serve sauce over chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley.

If this is the dish you had then just cook some rigatoni and serve the chicken and sauce over it. Not authentic Italian to be sure, but still tasty.

Answer 2

I guess it was not an Italian but a Canadian dish..!!! We haven't any recipe that combines rigatoni and chicken. That's for us Italians a real sacrilege...!! If you exclude the chicken and instead you put the bacon, ham and meat sauce I would say it's our "Rigatoni alla boscaiola"- Here is the recipe in Italian.

If it had pasta together with chicken, it was not Italian at all. No self-respecting Italian mixes chicken and pasta. They'd laugh you out of Italy.
