Chicken Marsala

This is, quite possibly, my husband’s favorite thing I’ve made. He LOVED it. I can’t say I disagree with him. Yum!

Ingredients:

4-6 thin chicken breast pounded out to 1/8 inch thickness
1/2 cup flour
1/3-1/2 cup butter
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (We left these out)
1-2 cloves garlic minced
3/4 cup marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 box angel hair pasta

Directions:

Dredge the chicken in flour. Place 2 chicken breasts at a time in the skillet with 2 tablespoons melted butter (add more with each addition if needed) in skillet. Cook over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. As each one is done place it in a 9×13 baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat until all chicken is cooked.

Adding more butter if needed, saute mushrooms and garlic in the same skillet. When the mushrooms are done use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and place them on top of the chicken.

Use the marsala wine to deglaze the pan then stir in the chicken stock. Bring to a boil then reduce the temperature. Spoon 1/2 of the sauce over the chicken. Top the chicken with cheese and bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

While the chicken is baking prepare angel hair noodles. When the noodles are done drain the water and dump the noodles into the pan with remaining sauce.

Serve chicken and mushrooms over top of angel hair pasta.

**Recipe note** If you are concerned with the amount of butter in this recipe you can substitute olive oil for half of the butter. Some butter is required to give it a rich flavor but it is perfectly okay to use half butter and half olive oil.
