mangia!

I found a recipe for easy chicken marsala with mushrooms last week, and finally got around to experimenting with it tonight. this is such a quick, easy, and delicious meal--the only "out of the ordinary" items you'll need to pick up on your next grocery store run are marsala wine, baby bella mushrooms, and green onions.

chicken marsala with baby bella mushrooms

ingredients

* 4-5 thin-sliced chicken breasts
* cooking spray
* salt
* black pepper
* 1 and 1/2 cups of baby bella mushrooms, sliced
* 1 and 1/4 cups of marsala wine OR marsala cooking wine
(this will not be in the wine section of the store; look near the vinegar!)
* 2 green onions, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
* 4 tablespoons butter
* 2 tablespoons flour (to thicken sauce)

preparation

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan. Cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken and drippings from pan; set aside, and keep warm.

2. Heat pan over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking spray. Add mushrooms. Coat mushrooms with cooking spray; cook 2 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add wine and 3 tablespoons onions. Cook 30 seconds over high heat. Reduce heat; add butter, stirring until butter melts. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring gently to thicken the sauce and break up any flour clumps.

3. Add chicken and drippings to pan, stirring gently. Place chicken on platter. Spoon mushroom sauce over chicken; sprinkle with remaining onions.

note: I modified this recipe.

I served my chicken marsala over fettucine tossed lightly with olive oil (I suggest using a Misto olive oil sprayer--these are so handy and are only $9.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond).

fresh. fast. feast!
