Mary's to Kill for Chicken Marsala

By Daniel Z. Kane

Chicken marsala is one of my favorite dishes.

But, I stopped ordering it in restaurant about 15 years ago. That's because, even in a good restaurant, I know the chicken marsala will not please me.

The reason is simple. Mary, my wife of more than thirty years, makes the best chicken marsala on earth. I'm not kidding.

Here is Mary's recipe.

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 over rice, pouring the remaining butter-marsala mixture on the chicken and rice.

Enjoy. - 15485
