Chicken Marsala
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 10 ounces sliced mushrooms (baby portabellas are tasty!)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons margarine or 5 tablespoons butter
- 12 cup marsala wine
- 12 cup chicken stock
- 18 teaspoon marjoram
- 18 teaspoon thyme
- 18 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon pepper
- Wash and trim chicken breasts to prepare for the dish.
- Pound out each chicken breast between saran wrap to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Slice chicken breast into strips or little chunks, whichever you prefer.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, salt, and pepper.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of your margarine in a large skillet over a medium-high heat.
- Coat chicken pieces with flour mixture and lightly brown in skillet.
- Turn after 2 minutes or so, ensuring both sides are lightly browned.
- Transfer the chicken to a shallow dish and it covers the dish tightly with plastic wrap so that no steam can escape.
- This will seal the moisture into the chicken.
- Add remaining margarine to the same skillet.
- When the margarine is melted, add garlic, thyme, marjoram, and sage.
- Add pre-washed sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Toss mushrooms so that they are coated evenly in the pan with the melted margarine and spice mixture.
- Cook until they are lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- After the mushrooms are browned, return the chicken to the skillet.
- Add the marsala wine mixture.
- Bring to a light boil for 5-7 minutes to cook off some of the wine and ensure that your mushrooms and chicken soak some up.
- Yum!
- Add chopped parsley and chicken stock to the mixture.
- Bring to a light boil again.
- Then reduce to a mediumlow heat to simmer the chicken until it is cooked through.
- Last but not least, I thicken my sauce a little at the end with cornstarch and water.
- Serve immediately.
- This dish is great over egg-noodles or my favorite, rice pilaf.
- Enjoy!
