I know this is crazy, but if you have old Betty Crocker cookbooks could you please check the index to see whether there  is a recipe for chicken marengo.  I recall it may be in Betty Crocker's New Good and Easy Cookbook but it may have appeared in subsequent versions.  I donated my copy a few years ago and made this dish often in the past and now I am hoping to make it again.  There are lots of used copies of BC cookbooks out there so I am hoping to confirm which one it is in.  I searched the internet extensively including Amazon where not  all the older editions  have the "look inside" feature.

I know this is silly -- there are lots of chicken marengo recipes on the web that are probably even better!

TIA

I have "Betty's Crocker's Cokbook" and it does not have that recipe. I can't find a date inside the book but I got married in 1970 so it's at least that old.

@maisiebrook  I don't have the cookbook; however, on the Betty Crocker site there is a recipe for Chicken Penne a la Marengo.  I hope that helps.

I searched and didn’t find the recipe.

I saw a listing for Betty Crocker Big Book Of Chicken and the recipe was listed on page 38. Unfortunately, you had to buy the book.

There is a recipe on Betty Crocker dot com.

Thanks! Everyone 

I am going to try and borrow the Betty Crocker Chicken cookbook from the library.

That vintage recipe website is worth knowing about.

When I track down the recipe, I will post it.  I recall it called for chicken parts vs. pieces, though the chicken penne one sounds good.
