A healthy and delicious way to enjoy boneless skinless chicken breasts that's as delicious as a restaurant meal and ready in just 20 minutes, this slim and saucy healthy chicken marsala is a keeper.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of the salt, ¼ teaspoon of the dried thyme and the pepper.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken (but don't overcrowd the pan) and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in the skillet. Add the mushrooms and remaining salt and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the shallots and cook, stirring often until the shallots start to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for another minute.
Add the marsala and broth and cook until the sauce thickens a little, about 1 minute. Add the chicken back to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 more minutes.
Recipe Notes
I used mushroom broth instead of chicken broth and thought it was delicious.Although, this recipe is called "saucy" I would have liked even more sauce, so the next time I make it, I'm going to increase the marsala and broth to ¾ cups each.I'll also sprinkle it with a little fresh chopped parsley before serving.Serving size: 1 chicken breast + ½ cup mushrooms and sauceClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.4*SmartPoints (Green plan)2*SmartPoints (Blue plan)2*SmartPoints (Purple plan)6*PointsPlus (Old plan)
