Lightened Up Chicken Marsala
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces crimini mushrooms sliced
- 3/4 cup marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth Organic, free range
- 1 yellow onion small, sliced thinly
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 tablespoon butter real
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- cracked black pepper
- fresh Parmesan cheese grated
- Italian parsley fresh, chopped for garnish
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, let heat up for 2-3 minutes. Add onion, toss to coat with the oil then let sit still for 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile, boil water for egg noodles, chop mushrooms and smash the garlic cloves with the back of a chopping knife. Stir the onions and let sit still for 3-4 more minutes until dark golden brown. Create a small 'well' in the center of the pan and add butter. Let melt to a golden brown. Add mushrooms and garlic to pan and toss to coat. Let saute for 5-6 minutes stirring just once. This will create a wonderful brown glaze on the bottom of the pan and also allow the vegetables to cook perfectly.
- Slowly, pour in the Marsala wine while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon (just don't use metal). When all of the browned bits are loosened from the bottom of the pan, allow the wine to simmer in the veggies for 2-3 minutes. Pour in the broth and cook another 2 minutes stirring once or twice. Carefully, transfer the onions and mushrooms mixture to a large, glass bowl and cover with a plate.
- Place the thawed chicken breasts in a large/gallon size zip lock bag making sure there is no air in the bag. Put the bag on a dish towel and fold the towel over in half to cover the bag. Using a large wooden rolling pin or a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken several times to flatten it to about 1/2" thick. You want them to be thin so they cook quickly. Pat them dry with a paper towel and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. {Make sure to pat them dry or they will splatter in the grease!}
- Carefully wipe the pan clean with a few wadded up paper towels. Return to heat. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the chicken to the pan and let cook for 4-5 minutes. Using a pair of tongs, check to see if the bottom side is browned, when so, flip over and cook another 4-5 minutes until browned. Pour the mushroom mixture into the pan and reduce heat to medium low. Cook a minute or two until heated through. Serve on top of noodles. nn- See more at: http://simplyhealthyfam.blogspot.com/2015/03/simple-and-healthy-chicken-marsala.html#more
