Chicken Giovanni Mushroom, Peppers, and Wine Pomodoro is an easy vegetable-topped chicken made in less than 35 minutes that mom used to make back in the 1960s.

The chicken is seasoned, sauteed, and then topped with tomatoes, peppers, and sauteed mushrooms.

A versatile basic recipe that can be adapted using any meats or seafood and Grandma and Mom developed this easy recipe.

This fork-tender chicken is so forked tender and great on a bed of pasta, mashed potatoes or rice.

Back in the 1960s living in Central Utica New York, mom usually served this over day-old bread during those tough recession years, but you can choose any of our suggestions below for sides your family prefers.

The name of this dish came from Grandma because it was Grandpa John's favorite meal and Giovanni is John in Italian plus my brother's name who loves this dish!

Old Vintage Chicken Recipes Are the Best!

I can't tell you how old this recipe is from our family cookbook but it sure is from back in the 1960s somewhere that I remember.

The topping is a basic medley and was used on top of many different types of meat and seafood.

Mom worked full time and this was one of those hurry-up recipes and throw-together that tasted like it came from a 5-star restaurant.

If you're looking for quick and easy this whole meal can be achieved in around 30 minutes.
