Chicken Marsala

Chicken Marsala 

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 cup fat free Italian salad dressing

1 Tbsp. flour

1 teas. Italian seasoning

1/2 teas. garlic powder

1/4 teas. paprika

1/4 teas. pepper 

2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

1 Tbsp. butter

1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup dry Marsala wine  OR   3 Tbsp. unsweetened apple juice 

        plus 5 Tbsp. additional chicken broth.  

1 pound sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup minced fresh parsley


Flatten chicken to 1/2 inch thickness.  Place in a large re-sealable plastic bag; add salad dressing.  Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.  Drain and discard marinade.  Combine the flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper; sprinkle over both sides of chicken.  In a large nonstick skillet coated with non stick cooking spray, cook chicken in 1 Tbsp. oil and butter for 2 minutes on each side or until browned.  Transfer to 9 x 13 baking dish covered in nonstick spray.  


Gradually add broth and wine or apple juice mixture to skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes.  Strain sauce; set aside. (I admit I did not strain the sauce...)  In the same skillet, cook mushrooms in remaining oil for 2 minutes, drain.  Stir sauce into mushrooms; heat through.  Pour over chicken; sprinkle with parsley.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
