>
> 2 huge chicken breasts, cut in half laterally, making 4 filets or more.
>
> (or pounded out thin, if your butcher will do that for you.)
>
> 2 eggs - beaten
>
> white flour
>
> Salt and Pepper
>
>
>
> 1 can of chicken broth, (or water with knorr bouillion cube)
>
> ¾ cup of Marsala wine and ¼ cup of lemon juice.
>
> (use cheap Marsala or you will ruin the dish. I use Cribari or other
> cooking Marsala).
>
>
>
> A box of mushrooms, sliced up.
>
> Approximately ½ cup (or more) of olive oil for frying.
>
>
>
> In a large frying pan, pour in the oil (at least ½ cup) and begin to heat

> Salt and pepper the chicken breasts, then dredge in flour on all sides,
> then dip into the beaten eggs to coat all over, then place gently into the
> hot pan to brown.
>
>
>
> When the chicken fillets are nicely browned on both sides, remove to a
> plate while you prepare the sauce.
>
>
>
> Put all the sliced mushrooms into the same fry pan, (adding a bit more oil
> if needed). Sautee the mushrooms a few minutes.
>
>
>
> Place a few spoonfuls of flour into the fry pan and make sure it soaks up
> the oil. (I use the leftover flour I dredged the chicken in before
> dipping it into the egg). It cannot be dry or white appearing, but must
> be all dampened with the oil.
>
>
>
> Now add all the liquids at once, on top of the mushrooms, flour and oil..
> wine, chicken broth, lemon juice... and stir constantly over the heat till
> thickened slightly.
>
>
>
> Put the browned chicken breasts back into the pan with the sauce, cover
> and simmer for 10 minutes or so, till they are fully cooked through.
>
>
>
> Serve over rice. I recommend Basmati white rice cooked in an open
> microwave dish.
>
> We used 1 cup of rice and 2 ½ cups of water, and microwaved it on high,
> uncovered for about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork after it is done.
>
>
> NOTE ; you don't have to serve it with rice. For diabetic adaptation
> just let the gravy reduce a little more and just serve the sauce over the
> chicken pieces.
>
> ENJOY!
