Steps:
- 1. Marinate chicken and vegetables separately: Place chicken pieces and vegetables in separate Ziploc bags (as many as it takes) and divide the marinade mixture evenly enough to ensure all will coat well. Marinate overnight or at the very least, several hours.
- 2. Combine marinara sauce ingredients and slow simmer while chicken and veggies are roasting. Add extra water if sauce becomes too thick. If you're a purist who likes a simmer longer than an hour, start earlier! :)
- 3. At 450 degrees, roast chicken and vegetables separately (if you're blessed with 2 ovens, great! I'm not!). I use a baking pan for the chicken and jelly roll pans for the vegetables. The secret to this being so good is to leave in the oven long enough for the chicken and vegetables to get blackened edges. While chicken and veggies are roasting, cook and drain pasta, then toss with olive oil in a skillet with the minced garlic. Saute for just a couple of minutes. Turn chicken and vegetables as the edges blacken. You may have to pour off some of the liquids from the veggies to hasten the roasting process. Remove chicken from oven as soon as the edges begin to blacken or it will dry out. The chicken will be finished in about 30-40 minutes; the veggies about 50-60 minutes.
- 4. Turn chicken and vegetables as the edges blacken. You may have to pour off some of the liquids from the veggies to hasten the roasting process. Remove chicken from oven as soon as the edges begin to blacken or it will dry out. The chicken will be finished in about 30-40 minutes; the veggies about 50-60 minutes.
- 5. To Serve: After roasting the chicken pieces, slice or tear into strips (I toss them with pan juices to keep moist). Layer as follows on platter or warmed individual plates: Freshly cooked pasta, lightly tossed with garlic and olive oil; marinara sauce; roasted vegetables; and chicken slices. Top with plenty of freshly grated parmesan, a quick twist of the pepper mill, and serve. This is so filling that your guests will barely be able to touch the salad and rolls. And dessert? Forget it!
