"CHICKEN MARSALA" RECIPE FROM LYNN BETTELYOUN

These are the food items needed

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

¼  cup flour

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons spoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic chop very fine

 ¼ cup fresh parsley chop fine

1 cup white mushrooms

½ cup DRY marsala  wine

Here is how I cook it

Start with a boneless skinless breast, put it between waxed paper. Take a meat hammer and flatten it to about a ¼ inch. Do this to all 4 breasts.

Mix the flower, salt and pepper in a gallon freezer bag

Place the flatten breasts in the coating and shake till all of the meat is covered

Take a 12 inch skillet and heat the olive oil medium high heat

When oil is hot, add the garlic and the parsley.  Cook this for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.  The parsley will get quite done as well as the garlic, this is ok.

Take the chicken out of the bag and place in the skillet. Do not add any more oil

Brown the chicken on both sides ( the garlic and parsley are still in the skillet )

Add the mushrooms and the dry Marsala

Keep the heat on the medium high range and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes

The Marsala will cook down to zero leaving a glaze in the pan

Serve with either a pasta or your favorite potato, and a vegetable

Marsala is found at any grocery store for about $6.  Remember DRY Marsala

This whole process takes about half an hour.

Enjoy - Lynn Bettelyoun
