Dinner's Ready! Chicken Marsala By Tin Man

*Winner of the Give-Away is announced at the end of this post!!!!*

Tin Man makes the BEST Chicken Marsala-I beg him to make it for me all the time! He was willing to share his AWESOME recipe-ENJOY!

Chicken Marsala

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

12 ounces of canned mushrooms-chopped and drained (You can delete the mushrooms if you hate them...)

1 cup of all-purpose flour

salt and pepper

Tony's Creole Seasoning (for the extra kick we love, but optional)

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts-cut into 1 1/2 chunks

1 stick of butter (I know, don't say it!!!)

1 cup Marsala wine

1 cup chicken broth

1 lemon

1/4 cup dried parsley

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and mushrooms and saute until light brown, stirring occasionally for a few minutes. Remove mushrooms from pan so they don't burn.

In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of flour and salt, pepper, and Tony's Creole seasoning to taste. Also season the chicken with salt and pepper AND Tony's Creole seasoning then toss in the flour mixture , coating everything. Shake off excess flour.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in the saute pan over medium heat. Place chicken in the pan and cook until cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and keep warm by placing it in the oven at 375 degrees in an iron skillet (that's what we use) or another pan.

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon flour in the saute pan (where you cooked the chicken) and stir until it is absorbed by the butter. Stir in the Marsala wine and chicken broth and simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes. Add mushrooms to the pan, and squeeze the juice of the lemon directly into the mushroom sauce. Add the remaining butter (about half of a stick, or more if you choose) stirring constantly so it makes a smooth sauce.

Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper, and pour over the chicken after you remove it from the oven. Sprinkle with the dried parsley and serve...Voila!

(Chicken Marsala served with a green salad, and homemade "fries")
