Chicken Marsala



Trivia: "Marsala wine sauce has its own distinctive complex aroma that tantalises the taste buds and sends the olfactory senses into a spin. Chicken marsala is a famous Italian recipe. The key ingredient which gives chicken marsala its distinctive sweet flavour and aroma is Marsala wine. " http://www.chickenmarsala.net/


This recipe was provided by my sister-in-law Mary. This is superb.
4 BONELESS, SKINLESS CHICKEN BREASTS
1 STICK BUTTER
1 CUP FLOUR
1 TSP SALT
1/2 TSP PEPPER
1 CUP MILK
3/4 CUP MARSALA WINE
1 CUP SLICED MUSHROOMS

In large saute or fry pan, melt butter. While butter is melting, combine flour, salt and pepper in small bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in milk; shake off excess. Dredge chicken in flour mixture and add to fry pan.

Saute chicken in butter over medium to medium high heat until browned and cooked through, turning often being careful so as not to break off any of the flour coating.. Add more butter as needed.
Remove chicken from pan and place on platter. Keep chicken warm while making sauce.

Turn heat to medium high and add the mushrooms, saute until cooked. With mushrooms still in the pan, deglaze with the wine, stirring to get all of the brown bits off the bottom of pan. Turn heat to medium low and continue to cook sauce, stirring frequently, until sauce has thickened slightly. (Taste sauce often and add more wine or butter as necessary. If sauce doesn't thicken properly, add a little bit of flour and continue to stir.)
When sauce is ready, add chicken back to the pan and turn to coat.

Remove chicken to seving platter and top with remaining sauce.
