Chicken Marsala


1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp dried marjoram, crushed
1/8 tsp salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (about 8 oz)
1/4 cup sliced green onions (2)
3 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry Marsala or dry sherry
Hot cooked pasta, such as angel hair or linguine (optional)

1. In a shallow bowl stir together flour, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly to about 1/4 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Lightly coat chicken pieces on both sides with flour mixture, shake off excess.
2. In a large skillet cook mushrooms and green onion in 1 Tbsp hot butter over medium-high heat until tender; remove from skillet. In the same skillet cook chicken in the remaining 2 Tbsp hot butter for 5 to 6 minutes, turning to brown evenly.
3. Remove chicken from skillet. Return mushrooms and green onion to skillet. Carefully add broth and Marsala to skillet. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Season sauce to taste with additional salt and pepper. To serve, spoon mixture over chicken. If desired, serve over pasta.

Soooo good! Delicious flavors, and easy to make!
A few changes: I used 3 chicken breasts (fit perfectly in the skillet), one medium onion instead of green onions, and added a little parsley at the end.
