Family Dinners: Chicken Marsala

Do you sit down to the table with your Family for dinner? We used to do it all the time, and then for whatever reason we got out of the habit. But we are bringing back Family Dinners at the Merrill house! I think it is so important to sit down as a family and share about your day. We do this thing when we do sit down at the table as a family it’s called High/Low. Everyone at the table has to share one good (high) thing that happened during the day and one bad/not so good (low) thing that happened. This is a great way to see what’s going on in your child’s life. And it’s a great conversation starter! We’ve actually done this when man-child has had friends over and its fun to see how other kiddos react to it. I’m sure they think we are cRaZy in the beginning but they usually get into it as well. I know our lives are busy and maybe you can’t sit down to dinner every night try making it once a week to start with. Sunday’s are the day we really like to make sure we all gather together. So dust off your tables, clear out the clutter and make time to sit down to a Family Dinner.

When you do sit down to that Family Dinner why not make a yummy Chicken Marsala to enjoy with all that conversation! Just remember don’t talk with your mouth full!

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

¼ cup flour

½ tsp Garlic Salt

¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper

½ tsp Oregano

4 Boneless skinless Chicken Breasts (pounded to about a ¼ inch thickness)

4TBSP Butter

4TBSP Olive Oil

¾ cup Marsala Wine

1 cup sliced mushrooms

 

 

Here’s how you make it:

In a plastic zip bag place your flour and all the seasoning, shake it up a little to get it mixed up! Then Place the chicken breasts, one at a time, into the bag and shake to coat the entire breast. Remove the Chicken. In a medium sized skillet, melt butter in the oil over medium heat. Place the Chicken in the pan and let brown, turning over once. Add in the mushrooms and the wine. Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink! Serve with angel hair pasta, or a nice salad for a lighter meal, we may have both ;)

ENJOY!
