CHICKEN MARSALA

CHICKEN MARSALA

A delicious and elegant dinner that is easy enough to make on a weeknight. The key is to use a nice marsala wine (not what you find at the supermarket). Trader Joes has one that I recommend.

INGREDIENTS

·         2 Large Organic Chicken Breasts cut in half and flattened between 2 pieces of wax paper

·         1 Pkg Organic Mushrooms, sliced

·         3 Tbsp Whole Wheat White Flour (or Gluten Free if you want this to be a GF recipe)

·         2 Tbsp Good Quality Olive Oil

·         3 Tbsp Organic Salted Butter, divided 2 Tbsp & 1 Tbsp

·         4 Tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice

·         3/4 Cup Good Quality Marsala Wine (Trader Joe’s has a pretty inexpensive one)

·         1/2 Cup Organic Heavy Cream ( or Half and Half)

·         salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1.    Begin by slicing the chicken in half lengthwise and flatten between 2 pieces of wax paper using a rolling pin or meat mallet. The purpose isn’t to make them as flat as a pancake, but rather the same thickness so they will cook evenly

2.    Put the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt and pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour shaking off any excess

3.    Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a pan over medium/high heat. You don’t want the pan smoking but you do want to create some heat. Add the butter and when it stops foaming, add your chicken. You should be able to comfortably fit 3-4 pieces in the pan. You may have to do it in batches depending on how much chicken you have
