This was incredibly delicious. I omitted the salt because i used regular chicken broth and since i didn't have any marsala, i read that dry white wine and whiskey are a decent substitute. It tasted pretty spot on and the sauce was plate-lickin' good. Served with mashed potatoes.

Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup presliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
- Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound each piece to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle both sides of chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour, turning to coat; shake off excess flour.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add mushrooms, wine, broth, and juice to pan; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup. Return chicken to pan, turning to coat well. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Sprinkle with parsley.
Note:
If you do not care to use the marsala, you can replace it with 1/2 cup of additional chicken broth. Without the marsala, the flavor won't be exactly the same, but the recipe will work just fine.
