1 c. portabello mushrooms, sliced
12 canned artichoke heart halves (not the marinated type)
12 black olives (Italian oil-packed, imported)
1/2 c. chicken broth (low-salt canned is fine for this)
1/2 c. decent white wine
1 T. tomato paste
1 tsp. powdered beef bouillion
4 Tbs. butter, cut in pats and frozen
Preheat oven to 350
Dredge chicken in seasoned flour and brown quickly on both sides, about 4 minutes per. Saute garlic, mushrooms and zucchini until crisp-tender and add rest of vegies.Blend well, and set veg. aside. Add broth and wine to pan bring to boil; let boil until reduced by half. Add tomato paste and bouillion and a dash of pepper and Italian seasoning, and start rotating pan while you whisk in frozen butter one piece at a time, incorporating fully until sauce is thickened. Taste and correct for salt and pepper. Put chicken in 9by13 baking pan, spoon vegetables over, and top all with sauce. Bake 15 minutes until hot through. Great served w/ parmesan polenta, or plain pasta, or orzo.

My brother LOVES chicken divan. But anything meaty would probably be good (whats with guys and meat?) steak, prok chops, something with chicken, potatoes or rice for a side, and soe veggies or salad. Desert is really the time to impress him though, with cheesecake or some thing delicioud!
