Chicken Marsala

Anytime we go to an Italian restaurant, I order chicken marsala.  It is one of my very favorite dishes, and I'm so glad I found out how to make it at home.

For the most part, I had all the ingredients on hand. I did have to buy the mushrooms and the Marsala wine. This dish probably costs about $3-4 a serving, so it's a little more than I usually spend on dinner, but we are trying to eat in instead of going out and it's way cheaper than going out!

1/4 cup + 1 Tbl flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-lb chicken breast, pounded thin
3 Tbl butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pkg (10 oz) crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
2/3 c Marsala wine
2/3 c chicken broth
1/8 tsp dried thyme

• Combine 1/4 cup flour, salt, and pepper. Dip chicken until evenly coated.
• Melt 2 Tbl butter over Med-High heat and cook chicken, turning once, about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Keep warm.
• Melt 1 Tbl butter and cook onion and mushrooms about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1 Tbl flour and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Add wine and cook for 1 minute, scraping the brown bits from the skillet. Add broth and thyme. Bring to boil over high. Boil 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over chicken to serve.
