Submitted by ThatSouthernBelle

"I'm always on the lookout for something Greek and delicious sounding. I found this in the September 16, 2008 edition of the Dallas Morning News. This recipe was accompanied by an article stating, "Kathy Naftis of Colleyville, a parishioner at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas, says her recipe for Chicken Kapama has been in her family for 100 years." This is her recipe. This pasta, Macaroni No. 2 can be found here:http://www.greekinternetmarket.com/0602-05005.html or at your local Greek market."

This is very similar to my Italian recipe, although I did reduce the cinnamon sticks to two and the cloves to two also, servd over penne rigati.
