Ingredients
 
 

  • olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 breasts boneless skinless chicken breasts sliced in half or 4 smaller ones pre trimmed and sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 12-14 fresh baby portabella mushrooms halved then sliced
  • 1 medium onion cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves or 1 tablespoon dried
  • 1 cups red wine it doesn't have to be marsala - I use chianti and I drink some while i'm cooking
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch or flour optional - for thickening the sauce

Instructions
 

  • Salt, pepper and garlic powder both sides of the chicken filets. Put a large skillet on at medium high and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and about a tablespoon of butter. When the butter stops foaming lay the filets out in the skillet. Cook them about 4-6 minutes a side. When the juices run clear and or they are firm to a poke remove them to a plate that will catch the drippings.
  • With a wooden spoon very gently scrap the bits off the bottom of the skillet. add a little more olive oil if necessary and put the veggies in. Lightly salt and pepper.Toss a few times as they cook and when the onions are translucent they are ready. 
  • Add another tablespoon of butter and the wine. Stir it all together and bring  the wine up to a fast simmer. Simmer until the wine reduces by about a third. If you want it to be a little thicker - I always do - whisk a little corn starch and water together in a small bowl and whisk it into the wine. Put the filets and the drippings back into the skillet and turn them over a couple of times as they heat back up.
  • Serve up and enjoy your Chicken Marsala! Buono Appetito!
