Divine Chicken

This one dish chicken meal is better than any “helper” type meal you have ever tried. Just a touch of Italian taste to the wine, cream cheese, and fresh mushrooms.


We decided to name this in honor of a very recognizable entertainer, Divine. This talent was lost at age 42, however the “brand” she made will live on. Read the short article after the recipe.



Ingredients:
3 Tbs butter
1 Tbs Italian seasonings
1 Cup White wine (used Riesling)
1 can golden mushroom soup
4 ounces cream cheese
8oz fresh mushrooms sliced rinsed
8 ounce Linguine pasta (half box)
3 Chicken thighs 
1 can french style green beans 
 
Instructions
Do your prep: rinse mushrooms, heat water for pasta.


Cook the pasta according to directions on box. When finished, drain well.

In large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken by sauteing on skin side for 6 minutes, then flip for another 4 minutes, remove and tent with foil.


Add the mushrooms to skillet and let cook off the moisture, about 5 minutes.


Mix butter, Italian seasonings, wine, soup, and cream cheese in a into the skillet and cook, stirring constantly over medium heat, until melted and well mixed.

Place chicken back in the skillet along with the french style green beans. Lower the temp, cover and let simmer for another 6 – 7 minutes.
 


To Serve: Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon the sauce over. Serve pasta on side with the sauce to spoon over.

For Individual Servings: Place pasta on plate. Top with Chicken. Spoon sauce over.

                    Divine


The actor known as Divine was born Harris Glenn Milstead on October 19, 1945 in a suburb of Baltimore. At the age of 12, the Milsteads moved to Lutherville, a nearby district, just six houses from a boy the same age named John Waters. Can you imagine the two of them playing?


They didn't meet until high school, and according to Waters, the two became ''refugees from the fraternity and sorority life,'' He took the name Divine while acting in such early Waters' films as ''Roman Candles'' (1966), ''Eat Your Makeup'' (1968), ''Mondo Trasho'' (1969) and ''Multiple Maniacs'' (1970), and first gained relatively widespread attention in ''Pink Flamingos'' - a 1972 film that became a classic of studied bad taste. 


  
Through Waters' films, Divine became synonymous with vile, repulsive acts with an attitude to match.


Divine then starred in Waters' ''Female Trouble'' (1974) and ''Polyester,'' (1981), and in Paul Bartel's ''Lust in the Dust'' where he played a love interest of Tab Hunter (1985). He played a non-transvestite role in Alan Rudolph's ''Trouble in Mind,'' in 1986.


Not only did he act, but had a brief career as a disco recording star and club attraction.

Due to his weight,(300 lbs) Divine had health problems including sleep apnoea with chronic violent snoring resulting in memory loss, mood swings, heart attacks and strokes.



He once said in a 1976 interview that he was part of the time-honored tradition of men playing women's roles. ''I don't do Judy Garland or Mae West, and I'm not a female impersonator,'' he said. ''I'm an actor.''
At age 42, he was just about to branch into television. He'd been widely praised by fans and the press for his role as Edna Turnblad in John Waters'
Hairspray, and was finally going to play a role out of drag on network television.


The Fox program, Married With Children, had booked Divine to play Bundy relative, Uncle Otto - a character Fox hoped would become a regular. When he did not show up on the set. His personal manager, Bernard Jay, discovered him dead in his hotel suite. Mr. Jay swears Divine died of happiness, a state he finally achieved that morning in 1988.
