Ingredients
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or thighs
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic diced
- ½ pound fresh mushrooms
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons of Flour
- Seasoning to taste
- 4 Tablespoons of butter
- 1 Tablespoon of oil
- 3 Tablespoons of Marsala wine (dry)
- 2 Cups of beef broth or chicken broth
- Pound chicken breasts from center out to a ½ inch thickness
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Wash, pat dry and slice the mushrooms.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in another shallow bowl and season to taste. Dip the chicken breasts in the egg, then dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons of the butter with the oil in a large skillet. Cook the chicken until it is lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and keep it warm.
- Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms and sauté until they are lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir in the Marsala (de glaze the pan, stir to get up all the little goody bits on the bottom) and then add the Beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce about one-third, about 4-6 minutes.
- Whisk the remaining butter into the marsala mixture until well blended.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles or rice. Asparagus and a green Salad make a great combination, don’t forget the bread.
