"We love this recipe. Its like going out to dinner at a nice restaurant but without the expensive!"

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced button variety
• 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon dried porcini mushrooms, ground (can use other varieties depending on your taste or availability)
• 1⁄2 cup marsala wine
• 1⁄2 cup fat free chicken broth

directions

1. Season chicken with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
2. Dredge chicken in flour, shake off excess.
3. Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add chicken and cook, turning once after 6-8 minutes. Should be lightly browned on both sides and barely firm when you press the centers of the chicken.
5. Remove chicken from chicken and set aside.
6. In same skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add button mushrooms, stirring occasionally, cook about 6 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
7. Stir in shallots and cook 2 minutes.
8. Stir in ground porcini mushrooms and Marsala wine. Increase heat, boil for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and return to boil.
9. Add chicken breasts; turn to coat in sauce.
10. Simmer until sauce thickens.
11. Transfer to serving plates.
12. NOTE: You can find dried mushrooms in the ethnic foods aisle in your grocery store. I have also found them in the produce department. Once I couldn't find the dried porcini mushrooms so I bought a mix of dried mushrooms. Then I put the dried mushrooms in my spice grinder to grind. I'm sure if you didn't have a spice grinder, you could use a clean coffee grinder or food processor.

This was fabulous--I gave it my personal rating of EXCELLENT, reserved for something I definitely want to make again and again. I didn't have shallots on hand, so I used some Mayan sweet onion instead, and I also used dried shiitake mushrooms because I can't find dried porcini mushrooms in my area that don't cost a fortune. I can't wait to make this again, but then, there are so many other fabulous RecipeZaar recipes calling my name--so many recipes and so little time....oh my!! But this one is at the top of my list--definitely "a keeper" (as DH calls it!).

This was very very good!! I used boneless skinless thighs cause that is what we prefer. I didnt use the porcini mushrooms but this still turned out great. Thanks for posting!!!
