Creamy Chicken Marsala

Thanks Food network for sharing your recipe, I just added a few changes and my family loved it. ..Enjoy

This recipe is awesome no matter how you doctor it up. I cooked some garlic noodles to serve with it, but my son requested Jasmine rice for his ohwell, they absolutely enjoyed the meal.

This is what I used

~ 3 lbs. frozen chicken breast, thawed and  cut in half, pat dry

~ Italian bread crumbs for dredging 

~ 4 slices of bacon diced 

~ 3 cups pre-sliced mushrooms 

~ 1 cup Marsala wine

~ 3/4 cup low sodium chicken stock 

~ 1/2 TBSP jarred crushed garlic

~ 1/4 cup parsley rough chopped 

~ 1/4 cup cilantro rough chopped

~ 1/2 cup heavy cream

NOW...

▪ for some reason there was no reason for me to pound out the breast they were already fairly thin,  but if needed pound out the chicken breast covered with plastic wrap to approx. 1/4' thickness 

▪ pour enough seasoned bread crumbs onto a plate, dredge each piece of chicken on each side then set aside

▪ heat a large skillet over medium heat, heat EVOO, brown chicken on both sides in batches about 3-5 mins each side, when all the chicken is browned set aside 

▪ in the same skillet add the bacon, allow to cook 2-3 mins then add mushrooms and cook until caramelized and browned, then add the garlic 

▪ pour in the Marsala wine and allow to cook off alcohol about 2 mins, pour in the chicken stock, add the butter, allow the sauce to cook down/reduce  anout 3 mins, then pour in the heavy cream, cook for 2 mins, return the chicken, cook about 3-5 mins the sauce will thicken as it cools

This is an Italian dish, serve with thin spaghetti. ....or rice?

ENJOY!!!

Blueberry French Toast casserole

I now know for sure that I dream of food, in high def at 1080pi because I saw this dish so clearly lastnight. I woke up this morning (or did I even go to sleep...Idk) wanting to bake something blueberry-ish and this is what happened

Leftovers for breakfast

Leftovers for Breakfast

 

This morning I wondered what to do with the tortillas staring at from top of the microwave. I wanted something simple and this is what turned out.

 

I USED...

A few sprigs of flat parsley chopped, fresh cilantro chopped, one whole green onion thinly sliced separate the green from the white, one whole egg, one egg white, heavy cream approx. 1 TBSP, 1 slice Swiss cheese cut into 4 squares, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cups fresh baby spinach, Ghee, sea salt, pepper flakes, vegetable oil, 1/2 TBSP butter and some Olive oil, 2 corn tortillas, 1/4 cup x 2 leftover cooked black rice.

-To start, I fried the tortillas in vegetable oil (using just enough oil to fry them NOT deep fry them) until golden on both side, drain on paper towel, set aside.

-Then, whisk the eggs in a bowl with the heavy cream and any seasoning you like. I used garlic powder, curry powder, pepper flakes, sea salt, parsley, cilantro, and whites of the green onion

-Heat a med - lrg skillet with Ghee (if you don't have Ghee use the 1/2 TBSP of butter + a little Olive oil) over medium heat, sauté the spinach, then pour in the eggs, reduce the heat and swish around the eggs to evenly distribute the mixture to cover the skillet.

-Cook on reduced heat until the eggs settles, add the Parmesan cheese, cook until it melts, at this point the edges of the eggs should be dry, remove skillet from heat and divide the eggs in half using a spatula and fold over

-Using a  two 1/4 microwavable measuring cup heat the black rice up with a few drops of Olive oil until heated

-Arrange the tortillas on a plate, top with folded eggs, the black rice, Swiss cheese, and green onions
-Serve with salsa or seasoned dice Roma tomatoes
