Ingredients:

1.5 cups

Virgin Olive Oil

3 tbsps

Garlic (minced)

1.5 cups

Marsala Wine

3 cups

Half-And-Half

1.5 cups

Chicken Broth

1 pinch

Pepper

Directions:

1

For the Chicken Marsala: In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat

2

Pound chicken breasts lightly on each side flipping twice

3

Place the bread crumbs in a shallow baking dish

4

Bread each breast by pushing down into bread crumbs and then flipping so both sides are breaded

5

Place the breasts in the hot pan and saute until lightly browned on each side

6

Drain the oil from the pan

7

The next 2 steps must be done quickly while pan is on the burner

8

Add the minced garlic to the hot pan, NOT on the chicken breasts

9

Add mushrooms, tomatoes, basil and marsala wine

10

Flip chicken breasts over placing them on top of the ingredients so they cook and the breasts do not burn

11

Let the alcohol burn off and let the wine soak in for a minute

12

Stir in the half-and-half, marinara sauce, and chicken broth and cook over high heat

13

Add pepper and continue cooking on high heat until liquid reduces into a thick, golden brown sauce, 3 to 5 minutes

14

If serving right away

15

Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and transfer to a serving platter

16

Pour the sauce directly from the pan onto the chicken breasts and serve

17

If making ahead of time and/or for a more tender and juicy Chicken Marsala

18

Do NOT remove the breasts; instead pour the entire contents of the saute pan into a baking dish and put in a preheated 175 degrees F oven for 1 hour

19

Carefully remove chicken breasts and transfer to a serving platter

20

Pour the sauce from the pan over the chicken breasts and serve
