An alternative chicken Marsala recipe that is simple, delicious and healthy. The chicken can be served with fettucini tossed in butter and topped with parmesan cheese or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground (black pepper)
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 chicken breasts, boned, skinless
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 lemon

Method

Mix together the flour, salt, oregano, and black pepper and set aside.

Pound the chicken breasts gently (with the flat side of your meat mallet or a rolling pin) to reduce its thickness. Roll the chicken in the flour mixture until well coated.

In a heavy skillet or frying pan, over medium to high heat, add the olive oil and brown the chicken breasts on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Pour the Marsala wine into the olive oil and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms, chicken stock and lemon juice and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the chicken to the pan, cover and cook over low heat for 10 more minutes.

Remove the chicken and serve with a simple pasta dish like fettucini with butter and parmesan. Pour some of the Marsala sauce over the chicken.
