Expert Tips

We named this recipe minestrone because the casserole contains many of the same ingredients as the traditional Italian soup of vegetables, pasta and beans. Consequently, the flavor of this casserole is very much like minestrone.

To remove the skin from chicken wings and legs, use a kitchen scissors.

Serve this flavorful casserole with hearts of romaine dressed in a garlicky vinaigrette and with crusty Italian bread.
