Well after a good workout, I decided to cook some dinner. I did about 30 minutes cardio in the little gym here in the apartment complex.
Tonight I sauteed a chicken breast tht was sliced in half then flattened. In the skillet was some olive and canola oil. Salt and Pepper the breasts, lightly dust with flour. Cook getting brown on both sides, then remove from pan and keep in oven at 250 while we saute some shallots, garlic and Cremini mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms then add some Marsala wine to deglaze the pan. Bring up those brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Then add some chicken stock and continue to reduce and cook off the alcohol. When the liquid is about 25% reduced return the flattened chicken breast back into the pan. Continue to reduce the liquid to about 50%. All the very last minute, add a tablespoon of butter to the sauce, garnish with minced parsley on top.
