I found this recipe on the Skinny Girl Website. I made it the other night, and it's delicious! I sauteed the mushrooms and then set them aside in a different bowl. I added them again when I added the sauce over the chicken. I made this with whole wheat penne pasta and roasted asparagus: http://www.food.com/recipe/roasted-asparagus-50847.

Tips:

To save time, use a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
If using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness of 1/2-inch before cooking.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. Cook in batches if you have too many pieces to fit comfortably.
Use a good quality Marsala wine for the sauce. A dry Marsala will result in a better sauce than a sweet Marsala.
Let the sauce simmer for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the chicken Marsala over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also serve it with vegetables such as roasted asparagus, broccoli or green beans.
Garnish the chicken Marsala with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
