Recipe: Easy Chicken Marsala

Anyone that really knows me knows that I love to cook. Aside from writing and being on the water, cooking is one of my favorite things to do. I love trying new recipes and coming up with some on my own. In this article, I’m featuring one of my all-time favorite things to cook, Chicken Marsala. I literally have these ingredients in my fridge on a regular basis because I cook this so often. I found the original recipe in a magazine a few years ago. I’ve since tweaked it to fit my personal palette. This recipe is tried and true. It’s also one of my go-to recipes when I want to impress. Paired with my favorite Taittinger sparkling wine, this delicious dish will be a hit at your next dinner.

**Disclaimer: I’m not the best at measuring so the quantities below are to be used as moderate guides that may be suited to your taste. I suggest starting with small amounts, therefore, you can add more, if desired.

What You’ll Need

4 Boneless, skinless (organic) chicken breasts

2-4 Tablespoons of Unsalted Butter or margarine

2-4 Tablespoons of Olive oil

½ cup Marsala wine

¼ cup White wine ( you can use cooking or drinking wine, I use a Sherry cooking wine)

Mushrooms (any that you prefer. I looooove plain, white mushrooms, rinsed & sliced)

1 Vidalia onion (rinsed and sliced) Or Shallots, if you’re really fancy

All-purpose flour (just enough to coat your chicken)

Italian seasoning salt

1-2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)

A few sprigs of fresh parsley (to make it look fancy)

What You’ll Need to Do

1.First, I start by pounding my chicken breasts, unless you by thinner cuts. Rinse them and lightly coat them in flour.

2.Heat your olive oil in a non-stick pan to medium heat and brown your chicken on each side. Set aside.

3.Using the drippings in the pan, add your butter, mushrooms, onions and wine and bring heat to medium-high heat, briefly, until vegetables are tender. You may add a sprinkle of flour, if you prefer a thicker roux. Season to taste.

4.Add your chicken back to the roux and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add garlic. Garnish with parsley.

I typically serve this dish with skin-on red creamed potatoes and a green vegetable like asparagus, edamame or fresh steamed broccoli or green beans.

This recipe is quick and as easy as 1-2-3-4.

Bon appetite!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
