As I try new chicken dishes I've started to notice that a lot of them are very similar. Maybe it's just me but I sometimes think that all of my fun new chicken recipes are slight variations of the same basic recipe. Regardless, I love chicken and even slight variations keep me from feeling like I'm eating the same thing every week. So, without further rambling here are the directions for chicken Marsala.
You will need:
1 large or 2 medium chicken breasts (mine came to about 14 oz. for 3 servings)
1/3 c. flour
2 tbs. lemon pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbs. garlic powder
2 c. fresh sliced baby bella mushrooms
3/4 c. slightly sweet white wine*
2 tbs. butter
2 tbs. canola oil
1 tbs. oregano
Slice the chicken breasts into thin slices. If the chicken is half frozen this job is a lot easier.
Mix the flour, lemon pepper, salt and garlic powder in a bowl. Lightly coat the chicken in flour mixture, shake off excess flour. Add canola oil to a skillet over medium high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned on each side. Remove from skillet and place in a greased baking dish.
Add the butter to the skillet and melt. Add the mushrooms and oregano and cook until lightly browned. Add the wine and keep cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 more minutes. Pour over chicken and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is done.
*I used half white wine and half chicken broth for this. If you don't like wine or don't have any feel free to use all chicken broth.
I served this with potatoes boiled in chicken broth and mashed with some green onion tops and black pepper (yum) and a dinner salad. It was very good and I will definitely be adding this to the make again list!

Wow, this sounds delicious. I haven't cooked with white wine before. What exact brand did you use? I'm always afraid that I'm going to buy the wrong kind and ruin a meal. I've seen chicken marsala on many Italian menus and have been leery since they merge it with cheese. But this recipe looks great. Thanks for sharing!
It was really good. As for the white wine part, they say that you should use one that you would drink a glass of, so for you a moscatto (sp) would be best. That's what you drink, right?!?! If you're worried about the wine though, just use all chicken broth.
I thought of you especially with this recipe because there isn't any cheese!
I've had chicken marsala before. I've liked it. This one is flagged for future use. I still don't have the time or patience to do much cooking. Yep, I'm lazy. Sounds good!
