     1/2   c            Olive or vegetable oil
     1/2   c            Dry white wine
   2                    Cloves garlic, crushed
   1       t            Fresh Italian parsley,
                        -chopped
   1       t            Dried leaf oregano, crumbled
                        Salt
                        Pepper
     1/8   ts           Crushed red-pepper flakes
                        -(or more)
     1/3   c            Parmesan cheese, grated
                        Fresh spinach leaves,
                        -steamed
                        Hot cooked rice
                        Red bell pepper strips

  Mix oil, wine, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper (to taste).
  Marinate chicken in a shallow pan, covered, for several hours or overnight.
  Remove chicken and reserve marinade.  Place breasts, skin- side up in 1 or
  2 roasting pans; do not crowd.  Brush with part of reserved marinade. Bake
  in 375 F oven, basting occasionally with marinade, for 40 minutes until
  skin is crisp.  Sprinkle part of Parmesan over the chicken and return to
  oven just until Parmesan begins to turn golden. Line a warm platter with
  steamed spinach leaves, then with rice. Arrange chicken breasts on top and
  sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese. Garnish with red pepper strips.
  (NOTE:  Chicken breasts can be grilled about 4 inches from coals for 20
  minutes, turning and basting with marinade until chicken is golden.)
  
  Makes 8 servings.
