Chicken Marengo

I am making Chicken Marengo, which my father used to make on my birthday. This is the meal Napoleon Bonaparte had after he won the battle of Marengo. We share the same birthday. These are sauteed pearl onions and mushrooms in butter and lemon juice.

This is a cut-up chicken, in a white wine and chicken broth. Afterward, the onions and mushrooms go in, along with black olives and brandy. The Joy of Cooking advises waiting a day (unlike Napoleon). I am heeding her advice.
