Ingredients

  • 3½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 lb mushrooms
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Steps

  1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness. Mix flour with salt and pepper, then coat chicken on both sides.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook chicken 5-6 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms until golden, about 4 minutes. Pour in Marsala wine and scrape up any browned bits.
  4. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer in the Marsala sauce for 3-4 minutes until heated through.

On the side: Steamed rice (20 min)

1 3/4 cups long grain white rice

  1. Rinse the rice. Bring twice as much water as rice to a boil with a pinch of salt, stir in the rice, cover and simmer on low for 18 minutes.
  2. Take it off the heat, keep the lid on 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
