Chicken Marsala

Serves 4

  • 2 whole medium chicken breasts (1-1/2 pounds total), skinned, boned and halved lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp dried marjoram, crushed
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onion
  • 3 tbsp margarine OR butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry marsala OR dry sherry
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
  • snipped parsley (for serving accent)

Rinse chicken; pat dry. Place each breast half, boned side up, betweeen 2 pieces of clear plastic wrap. Working from the center to edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a mallet until 1/8 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap. Stir together flour, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Lightly press chicken pieces into flour mixture on both sides; shake off excess.

In a large skillet cook mushrooms and green onion in 1 tbsp of the margarine till tender; remove from skillet. In the same skillet cook chicken pieces in remaining margarine over medium-high for 4 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Remove skillet from heat. Return mushrooms and onion to skillet. Carefully add broth and marsala. Cook, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes or till mushroom mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally. Transfer chicken to serving platter. Spoon mushroom mixture over. Sprinkle with snipped parsley, if desired.
