Chicken and Mushroom Marsala

I find myself cooking the same things over and over. So Sunday, I looked through my cookbooks to come up with some new options for the week. Dinner tonight was a success! I made chicken marsala and it was really good and best part...easy!

Ingredients:
2 skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt (i only used a couple shakes, the marsala has a lot of sodium in it and trying to cut that out as much as possible)
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 8oz package sliced mushrooms
2 cups marsala Angel hair wheat pasta (you can use regular, but we like wheat)



Directions

1. Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4 inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin

2. Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken in mixture

3. Cook chicken and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side until done. Remove chicken, keep warm. 4. Add sliced mushrooms to skillet, and saute 4 minutes. Stir in marsala, cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until liquid is reduced by 1/2.

5. Return chicken to skillet and cook until thoroughly heated. Serve over pasta.


Mmmm...good.
