Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced button variety
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried porcini mushrooms, ground (can use other varieties depending on your taste or availability)
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup fat free chicken broth

Method

  • Season chicken with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
  • Dredge chicken in flour, shake off excess.
  • Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add chicken and cook, turning once after 6-8 minutes. Should be lightly browned on both sides and barely firm when you press the centers of the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from chicken and set aside.
  • In same skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add button mushrooms, stirring occasionally, cook about 6 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
  • Stir in shallots and cook 2 minutes.
  • Stir in ground porcini mushrooms and Marsala wine. Increase heat, boil for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and return to boil.
  • Add chicken breasts; turn to coat in sauce.
  • Simmer until sauce thickens.
  • Transfer to serving plates.
  • NOTE: You can find dried mushrooms in the ethnic foods aisle in your grocery store. I have also found them in the produce department. Once I couldn't find the dried porcini mushrooms so I bought a mix of dried mushrooms. Then I put the dried mushrooms in my spice grinder to grind. I'm sure if you didn't have a spice grinder, you could use a clean coffee grinder or food processor.
