LINDA'S CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Flatten the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of saran wrap, and pound with a meat mallet until thin. (You can use the edge of a can of soup, if you don't have a meat mallet. It's important that you pound the breasts to an equal thickness, so they cook evenly).
• Slice the mushrooms into thin slices. Set aside.
• Finely chop shallots to equal 1/2 cup. Set aside.
• Chop the parsley. Set aside.
• Mix the flour with the next 7 ingredients in the recipe.
• To Cook:.
• Add the butter to a lg. saute pan. Over med. heat, melt the butter, and add the mushrooms. After 2 mins., add the shallots. Cook until lightly browned, about 6-10 minutes Remove the mushrooms and shallots, and reserve.
• Add enough oil to the pan, so it makes a layer across the bottom. Add more as needed.
• Put the heat on high, until the oil gets nice and hot, then turn down to med-high.
• Saute the breasts for approximately 1-2 minutes on each side. (Remember the chicken breasts will cook fast because they are thin. Make sure you don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will boil instead of saute).
• Remove the breasts from the pan, reserve on a platter, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add the Marsala wine to the same pan to deglaze, scraping the small bits of chicken stuck to the pan. (Marsala is a wine and contains alcohol, so be careful when adding it to a hot pan. Better to remove the pan from the heat when deglazing any pan with wine.).
• Turn the heat down to medium, and simmer until slightly reduced, approximately 2 minutes.
• To thicken sauce, mix 3 T. cold water with 3 teaspoons cornstarch in a small bowl. Slowly add to the sauce, and stir until it thickens a little. If it isn't thick enough for your taste, add more cornstarch and water mix.
• If it is too thick for your taste, add more wine, a little at a time.
• Add the reserved mushrooms to the pan.
• Season with salt, pepper, and half of the parsley.
• Plate the chicken breasts, and top with Marsala sauce.
• Sprinkle with the rest of the parsley, for garnish.
• Serve.
