Steps:
- Cut chicken breasts in to small strips. Put chicken strips in a large bowl to coat with the flour, salt, pepper and garlic. I tend to add extra salt, pepper and garlic to give it a little more flavor.
- Melt butter in skillet. (Sometimes I add less butter just to make it a little healthier.) Add chicken until cooked and then add the shallots and saute until brown. Add wine, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, lemon juice and let simmer for approx 15 minutes. Add the cream and cook till heated through do not boil. Serve with Penne Pasta.
CHICKEN MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Set a turkey roaster pan over 2 burners on medium heat and add the canola oil. Brown the chicken, skin-side down first, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add a little more of the oil to the pan on high heat and add the mushrooms, garlic and onions. Season with salt and cook just long enough to get some color on the mushrooms, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and thyme and cook about 1 minute longer. Place the chicken pieces back into the pan skin-side up and spread them out evenly, pushing them down into the mushrooms and onions. Add the marsala, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and add the chicken broth. Place the whole pan in the oven and cook until the tops of the chicken are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pan and transfer onto a serving platter and keep warm. Set the roasting pan back over the burner on high heat. Bring the contents to a boil and cook the liquid until it is reduced and the flavors become concentrated, 3 to 4 minutes. Shut off the heat, add the butter cubes and stir gently to melt the butter evenly. This will thicken the marsala sauce and give it a rich flavor. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of the lemon juice and fold in the parsley. Pour over the chicken and serve with Chardonnay.
NON-ALCOHOLIC CHICKEN MARSALA
A spin on chicken marsala...sort of. I don't like wine. In fact, I don't drink, so I just adapted a well-known recipe :P

Steps:
- Trim the fat from the breasts and remove the white tendons running through the tenderloins. Place each breast between sheets of wax paper and gently pound with a meat mallet until less than 1/4 inch thick. Dust the chicken with the flour until well coated on all sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Use the tongs to add the chicken breasts in a single layer and saute for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until firm. Remove to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute until the mushrooms have given up their juice, about 8 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season to taste witih salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, 1 T at a time.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make the chicken marsala without mushrooms, you can substitute other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini.
- If you don't have marsala wine, you can use a dry white wine or a sweet white wine. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add to the sauce accordingly.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry or a roux. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water, while a roux is made by cooking equal parts butter and flour.
- To make the chicken marsala ahead of time, cook the chicken and sauce according to the recipe. Then, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chicken and sauce over medium heat until warmed through.

Chicken marsala is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with or without mushrooms. By following these tips, you can easily make a delicious chicken marsala without mushrooms that your family and friends will love.
