Healthy (& really easy) Chicken Marsala

This is a simple version of Chicken Marsala that is light and good for you.  It’s so easy to prepare and makes for great leftovers.  I usually make with a side of asparagus and always plenty of mushrooms.  I found this receipe on Cooking Light and make it every couple of weeks.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves pounded thin (I just buy the thin cut from the market)

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup presliced mushrooms (or as many as you like!)

1/2 cup Marsala wine

1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Sprinkle both sides of chicken evenly with salt and pepper.  Place flour in a shallow dish.  Dredge chicken in flour, turning to coat; shake off excess flour.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned.  Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.  Add mushrooms, wine, broth, and juice to pan; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup.  Return chicken to pan, turning to coat well.  Cover and cook 5 minutes or until chicken is done.  Sprinkle with parsley.  Enjoy!
