A Twist on Chicken Marsala


I am going to try and give you the best recap I can of this recipe but I definitely didn't measure much so it's all an approximation. Cooking is rarely precise so I am sure you can figure it out if you decide to replicate it!

Ingredients (may want to double mushroom and onion sauce)

Grilled Chicken Tenderloins (2-3 per serving)
Portabella Mushrooms
1 large vidalia onion
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp of roasted garlic
1/2 cup of marsala wine
1 cup of reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tsp of flour
2 sprigs of fresh thyme-chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste

Begin by heating olive oil and garlic on medium high heat. Add onions. Cook until beginning to brown and onions are softened.


Add half of marsala wine, half of chicken broth, mushrooms, and thyme. Keep cooking as mixture reduces. Add flour.



Slowly add remaining marsala and chicken broth continuously scraping the bottom of the pan to release flavor.



Meanwhile, grill chicken tenderloins. I marinated mine in balsamic vinegar, marsala wine, and a splash of pure maple syrup.

Top chicken with mushroom and onion sauce and serve with your favorite veggie!

Baked Zucchini Fries

Important things to know about my cooking and eating habits. I could live off of mushrooms and zucchini, well I basically do. Sorry if my recipes are boring, haha.

I made these to dip in the Comeback Sauce (seen below). Again, credit goes to Cody for the photos.

Ingredients:

2 medium-large zucchini
2 cups of panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese (the cheap kind is fine here)
1-2 eggs beaten

Preheat oven to 425 degrees


Pretty simple recipe. Slice zucchini into strips, try and make them about the same thickness for even cooking.


Simple dip pieces in egg and then roll in breadcrumbs. Best to do each one individually rather than the shake and bake method so that the breadcrumbs really coat the zucchini. Time consuming but definitely worth the extra effort.


Bake for 12 minutes then flip zucchini fries and bake for an addition 10-12 minutes or until they are browned.
