Nani's Famous Chicken Marsala

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups olive oil
• 9 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 cups Italian bread crumbs
• 3 Tbs minced garlic
• 6 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes
• 3 Tbs fresh chopped basil leaves
• 1 1/2 cups Marsala wine
• 3/4 cup half and half
• 3/4 cup marinara sauce
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• pinch pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In large saute pan, heat oil on medium high heat. Pound chicken breasts lightly on both sides, flipping twice. Place bread crumbs in shallow baking dish. Bread each side of chicken. Place chicken in hot pan and saute until lightly browned on each side. Drain oil from pan.

Add minced garlic to pan. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, basil and Marsala wine. Flip chicken breasts over placing them on top of the ingredients so they cook and the breasts do not burn. Let the alcohol burn off and let the wine soak in for a minute. Stir in half and half, marinara sauce and chicken broth and cook over medium high heat. Add pepper and continue cooking until liquid reduces into a thick, golden brown sauce.......3 to 5 minutes.

Remove chicken breasts from pan, plate and pour sauce over chicken.

For a juicier chicken DO NOT remove from pan. Instead put in 175 degree oven for one hour.
