I grew up in an Italian family who were first generation imigrants from Naples, Italy. One of our favorite dinners was chicken oreganata. It smells wonderful while cooking and the juices it creates are yummy when sopped up with crusty Italian bread. I have passed on this traditional dish to my children and grandchildren and they all love it and make it. Whenever this dish is baking in the oven, it gives me pleasant memories of my mom and grandma in the kitchen teaching me how to make this chicken,
Ingredients
1 chicken cut up into desired pieces.
3 lg. sweet onions sliced
6 lg. cloves of garlic chopped not minced
1 lg. bunch Italian parsley chopped
