MICROWAVE CHICKEN CACCIATORE 
1/4 c. cooking oil
1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut in serving pieces
1 med. onion, coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 med. green pepper, seeded & coarsely chopped
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 bay leaf
1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes
2 tbsp. dry white wine
Chopped parsley

Pour oil into an 8" square baking dish. Cut large pieces of chicken in half. Put in baking dish and turn so that all pieces are coated with oil. Place breasts in center and surround with other pieces of chicken. Sprinkle onions and garlic on top of chicken. Cook on HIGH for 5 minutes.

Combine green pepper, salt, pepper, bay leaf, tomatoes, and wine. Stir with a fork and mash tomatoes into small pieces. Pour over top of chicken. Cook, covered, on HIGH for 23 to 25 minutes or until chicken is tender. Garnish with parsley and serve with cooked spaghetti or rice.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
