Crisp Chicken Marinara from the October 2012 Cooking Light. Served with a plate of garden tomatoes with basil and balsamic. Not completely sold on the idea that the chicken is crispy, but it is great with the jazzed up Marinara. It gets a 4

Wine: Carramimbre Roble 2005 Ribera del Duero--nice match!
