Checking the Chicken Cacciatore recipe, you'll notice that the amount of liquid is quite a bit less than in the conventional Chicken Marengo recipe.
That's because liquids do not reduce in microwave cooking and we don't want a thin sauce.
Notice, too, that the onion is cooked first to be sure it is tender and that the flavor of the dish is fully developed.
In converting, the Chicken Marengo recipe has the liquid reduced and the garlic is cooked first.
Since the volume of food is about the same, the cooking times and power settings for Chicken Cacciatore are followed for Chicken Marengo Microwave Style.
