Mary's to Kill for Chicken Marsala

By Daniel Z. Kane

Chicken marsala is one of my favorite dishes.

But, I never order it in a restaurant. That is because, however good the restaurant is, I know their chicken marsala will disappoint me.

That is because Mary, my wife of thirty-five years, makes incomparable chicken marsala. Not even nationally known chefs can match her chicken marsala. Honestly.

Try her recipe and I bet nobody in your family will eat chicken Marsala in a restaurant either. Here's how to make it.

Flatten boneless chicken breasts with a kitchen mallet and cut each breast into 5-6 pieces.

Dredge the chicken pieces in flour, and saute them, using an entire stick of butter. Add mushroom slices. After cooking for a few minutes, pour in about 3/4 of a cup of Marsala wine and cook until the chicken approaches a golden brown color.

Serve the chicken on boiled rice, spooning the remaining butter/marsala mixture over it.

Enjoy. - 16650
