Ingredients

  • 3 large chicken breasts or 6 thin cutlets
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp + 1/4 cup water
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour I use Bob's Red Mill
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cups marsala wine
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Mix flour and seasoning into a bowl and set aside. Beat egg with 2 tbsp water and set aside.

  2. Slice thicker chicken pieces in half or use chicken cutlets. Lay 3 chicken slices (or cutlets) on a long piece of saran wrap. Top them with another piece of saran wrap and cover completely. Lay the covered chicken on a cutting board and tenderize with a kitchen mallet or hammer.
  3. Heat pan to medium-high heat and add 1.5 tbsp olive oil or butter, swirling the pan to coat completely.

  4. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat in flour mixture. Cook chicken in 2 batches, doing only 3 pieces the first time. Brown for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. Add remaining olive oil or butter to the pan and repeat step 4.

  6. When chicken is done, add mushrooms to the same pan with 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until mushrooms begin to soften.
  7. Add marsala wine, 1/2 tsp salt, and honey to mushrooms. Bring to a boil.
  8. Gently place chicken back into marsala wine mixture, making sure to coat all pieces with the sauce. Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  9. Cook, uncovered for approximately 30 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
  10. Serve warm with your seasonal veggies of choice and enjoy!
