Original recipe from Apicius, De Re Coquinaria:
Pullus Leucozomus!. Take a chicken and prepare it [for baking]!. Slice it at the breast!. Fill it with water and Spanish [olive] oil!. Move it so that it gives off juice and absorbs [the oil-water mixture while baking!.] Next, after it is cooked, lift it out of the remnants!. Sprinkle with pepper and serve!.

Modern recipe:
* Chicken, breasts
* Garlic
* White Grape Juice
* Salt
* Pepper
* Olive Oil
* Honey
Take chicken breast and rub them with freshly crushed garlic!. Next rub into them olive oil and salt!. Soak them in the white grape juice overnight!. The next day, parboil briefly in the marinade and allow to cool!. When ready to cook, place in a pan with the skin side up!. Sprinkle with pepper!. Next, coat liberally with honey!. Use enough honey so that they carmelize nicely in the oven!. Cook until golden brown and serve!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my girlfriend studies art history, and she says if it was Shakespeare, it would be elizabethan cooking, and that england didn't have a renaissance like in europe, it was more of an enlightenment!. so maybe if you ask for Elizabethan recipes you may have better luck as the word renaissance might throw people!.
She also says that they ate alot of fish as there was so many holy days and couldn't eat meat on those days!.
Game was very popular, and the rich ate this as it was illegal to buy or sell deer!.
The sauces were rich and heavy that accompanied meat as it covered up that the meat was rotten!.
Have a look at the museum of garden history website, london, as it has an elizabethan garden and grows herbs and veg from that era, and they may have recipes!.
