Chicken Marsala and Veggie Fettuccini

This was a first time recipe for me last night.  I got the Chicken Marsala recipe from Mom’s Budget.  I did not have Marsala Wine, so I used White Cooking Wine instead.  I had made the chicken last week sometime and put it in the freezer, so I can attest to the fact that it is great when you cook it up after freezing it!  My husband gave this recipe a 7.0—even though my pasta needed a little more moisture.  I am modifying my pasta recipe to add some of the pasta water so that we achieve this. ;)

What you need:

1 1/2 lbs. chicken breast, thinly sliced

1 cup flour

1 egg, beaten (maybe more—you be the judge)

1 stick of butter (I use reduced calorie butter by Land O’ Lakes)

2-3 tbsp. of olive oil (I added another tablespoon of oil after cooking the first batch because I used more chicken)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 cup Marsala Wine ( I used White Cooking Wine)

Salt & Pepper

_____

Fettuccini or Spaghetti noodles (enough for 4 servings)

1 Zucchini

8-10 mushrooms

1-2 tbsp. olive oil

1/2-1 cup pasta water

salt & pepper & garlic powder

 

Directions: (as written at Mom’s Budget—see above link)

In skillet, melt butter and add olive oil.  Dip chicken pieces in egg, then dredge in flour to coat.  Place chicken in frying pan and fry until golden brown on each side.  Add chicken broth and remaining ingredients and simmer in skillet for ten minutes. 

While cooking chicken, start pasta water to a boil.  In a separate hot skillet, add oil for pasta.  Put in zucchini and mushrooms and season with salt/pepper/garlic powder to taste.  Cover with lid and let cook on Med-Low.  Once pasta is al-dente, drain pasta and reserve a little pasta water for your dish.  Add pasta to veggies and add pasta water.  Give it a toss.  Re-season Salt and pepper to keep flavor. 

Serve Pasta and Chicken hot.  Take a little parmesan cheese to the table and put it on the pasta for more flavor.
