We decided to have Chicken Marsala this week. Monday evening, I was in charge of making it. When we first started making this dish, we followed this recipe from Gourmet exactly; now it's more of a guideline.
First step, I sprinkled salt and pepper on several chicken breasts, placed them on a foil lined cookie sheet, and baked them at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
While the chicken was cooking, I decided to next get the pot of water on the (gas) range top (for cooking pasta). Our oven's range top has burners that look like this:

So of course, you can guess what happened. My pot of water wasn't secure and tipped and sloshed water all over the range top. A lot of water. I had to take time to mop up the water and then try to dry the burners so they would light. They're very temperamental and usually refuse to light for a while after cleaning them or spilling something like water.
Did I mention that after I cleaned up the spilled water, the pot tipped again? And that I then had to mop up even more spilled water? Not my day, I guess.
Grrr!!!
After cleaning the two water messes, I sliced an onion and a lot of mushrooms. I'm not sure exactly how many mushrooms I sliced, but I'm sure it was a lot more than 3/4 lb. We really like mushrooms so the more sliced mushrooms, the better.

After the mushrooms and onions are nice and brown and the skillet isn't too watery, the Marsala is added. We don't have 'real' Marsala - we use a bottle of cooking Marsala.


Once the pasta was cooked, I added some butter and parsley.When SP got home, we microwaved the broccoli and then sat down to a tasty dinner.
We got out some Parmesan to grate over the pasta.
I like letting the mushroom-Marsala sauce mix in with the pasta and then scooping up a piece of pasta, some mushrooms, chicken, and small bite of broccoli all at the same time.
This Chicken Marsala recipe makes enough for 3 meals for us. All I've been doing is re-heating the chicken & mushroom-Marsala sauce in the oven for about 20 minutes, making some more pasta (or rice), and microwaving some frozen veggies. Yum!
Yum. I love mushrooms and marsala sauce!
