Recipe: Chicken Marsala

Here's a recipe you've got to try! It's one of those dishes that you don't want to stop eating...it's that good! It's super easy and I'm betting you could make it in the morning and let it cook away in the crock pot till suppertime. Oh, and don't be scared to make this if you or someone in your family isn't fond of mushrooms. My husband doesn't like them, but he LOVES this recipe!


Behold the yumminess! Since I've been in quite a cooking slump lately, the best side dish I could come up with was green beans. This would be lovely with an Olive Garden-ish salad...or fancier green beans than the ones I made.

Chicken Marsala


Ingredients:
            2 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts or thighs
            Salt and freshly ground pepper
            ½ cup all-purpose flour
            ½ cup butter or oil
            8 oz. mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
            2 cloves garlic, minced
            2 Tbsp. butter
            ½ cup Marsala wine (I use cooking wine)
            ½ cup chicken stock
            2 Tbsp. heavy cream
            2 tsp. dried basil
            Cooked pasta, any type

Directions:
            Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.  Toss chicken pieces in salt, pepper, and flour until completely covered.
            Heat oil to med-high in a skillet and fry chicken until done. Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
            Reduce the heat to medium and add butter, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, making sure to season lightly with salt and pepper. Add marsala wine, cream, chicken stock, and chicken pieces. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, allowing liquid to reduce and the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve over pasta.


PLEASE NOTE!
In an effort to keep my blog as private as possible, I would appreciate if you DO NOT pin this recipe (or anything else on my blog) on Pinterest. Although I would be terribly honored if you did pin it, I'm more interested in the privacy of my blog. Thank you!
