This is a quick and tasty chicken supper that needs very little added fat. It's elegant enough to serve when you have company.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 16 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 5-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 3/4 cup marsala wine

Preparation:

Pound chicken breasts to a 1/4-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap. Combine flour, oregano and black pepper on a plate or in a bowl. Dredge chicken breasts and set aside. Heat oil on medium heat in a large skillet. Sauté mushrooms until softened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, cook chicken breasts for 6 minutes, turning once half way through. Remove and keep warm. Return mushrooms to skillet, add parsley and marsala wine. Reduce liquid by about half. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes more.

Serve with seasonal vegetables.
