Consider this recipe "stress therapy" as you get to pound the chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. And, just make sure that you save enough Marsala to include in the recipe. ; )
Serves - 4 / Serving Size - 1 breast
Preparation Time - 30+ minutes / Cooking Time - 15 minutes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 4-oz boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (fat trimmed, pounded to 1/4-inch thick)
2 tsp olive oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 cups sliced white mushrooms
1/2 cup homemade chicken broth, or reduced-sodium, low-fat chicken broth
1/4 cup Marsala wine
1 Tblspn minced fresh parsley, or 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1. Place the flour in a medium bowl and lightly dredge the chicken.
2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and brown, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a dish and set aside.
3. To the same skillet, add the shallots and sauté for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the browned chicken (along with the juices that collected on the plate), broth, Marsala, parsley, and black pepper and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot, sprinkled with additional minced fresh parsley.

Review/Suggestions:
- If you don't have any homemade chicken broth in the freezer, canned broth it is.
- I doubled this recipe so there would be enough to put in the freezer. Definitely worth it on one of those nights when you just don't feel like cooking.
- Possibly because of doubling the recipe, the Marsala sauce was too runny, so in a cup I added some of the liquid and cornstarch. Once mixed to a nice consistency, I stirred this into the rest of the sauce. [Next time I will make sure to remove the chicken breasts first and THEN thicken the sauce. It still worked though.]
