This recipe is from an old cookbook I have called The Working Mother's Cookbook (the original printing), and is so-named because you can put the chicken in the marinade at night and with only a few minutes work the next evening, have a dinner fit for company. 

  • 4      chicken breast halves without skin -- boneless
  • 1      cup  Vermouth -- Dry
  • 6      tablespoons  soy sauce
  • 2      tablespoons  red wine vinegar
  • 2      tablespoons sugar (or 2 packets Splenda)
  • 2      cloves  garlic -- finely chopped
  • 1      tablespoon  ground ginger

Mix last 6 ingredients in a small bowl.

Put chicken (either in breasts or cut into bite-size chunks) into marinade and marinate for one to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 325.

Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade.

Arrange chicken in baking dish so pieces don't touch.  Put in oven (not covered). 

Cook 15 minutes for pieces; about 20 minutes for breast halves.

Put reserved marinade in a pan.  Heat to low simmer and simmer for about 10 minutes. 

Brush chicken with marinade; bake for about 10 minutes more.

Can be served over rice or by itself, with a green salad.

Mmmm, Tricia, you are making me hungry!  Served over rice is my choice if I had to choose.  Love rice!

Nima, I love rice, too, but I've had some low-carb clients and this is great for them just as it is.  (I have a program that I keep my recipes in that gives you the nutritional analysis so I can choose recipes that fit certain parameters.)  But I always serve it over brown rice.  I cut up the breasts beforehand into bite-size pieces, though you can do this, also, with just cut-up chicken pieces - harder to eat that way, though - or with whole boneless breasts.  Cut up into pieces, though, you get more marinade in the meat.

Tricia, my wife just posted a recipe on her blog for a chicken dish our family totally digs. And she posted it for the same reason you posted yours... it's easy and can be done in advance. Here it is.

That looks very interesting.  I'll have to try it (that's a LOT of olive oil!).
