Mary's to Kill for Chicken Marsala

By Daniel Z. Kane

Chicken marsala is one of my favorite dishes.

But, it has been ten years since I've ordered it in a restaurant. For ten tears before that, I tried and tried, but I was unable to find a restaurant with chicken marsala that made me happy.

That is because my wife, Mary, makes the best chicken marsala on the planet. Really.

Here is Mary's recipe.

Pound boneless chicken breasts with a wooden kitchen mallet until they are not much thicker than a pancake. Then cut each breast into five or 6 pieces.

Dredge them in flour, and saute them in a pan with a stick of butter and mushroom slices. After cooking for a few moments, add 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of Marsala wine and cook until done.

Serve alone or over rice, spooning the remaining butter-marsala mixture on the chicken.

Enjoy. - 16003
