Mary's Wonderful Chicken Marsala

By Daniel Z. Kane

I am not a big chicken fan. I don't care if I never see another piece of baked or fried chicken. Chicken marsala, however, is a very different story. I love it.

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.

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 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.

You'll love it. - 15634
