CHICKEN MARSALA

Cut your chicken breasts in half horizontally (butterfly) to make 2 thin cutlets.  Then, place each cutlet in a large ziplock bag and pound with a mallet until they are an even ½” thickness all over.

Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and Ciao Bella Seasoning in a large ziplock bag.  Shake to mix. Then, shake each breast in flour mixture until coated.  Shake off excess.

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Lightly brown each chicken cutlet on both sides until just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.  Remove chicken from skillet and cover with foil to keep warm while you make the sauce.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan drippings.  Cook the onions, garlic, and chopped sage over medium high heat until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.  Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and mushrooms are lightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.

Add the salt, pepper, Ciao Bella, and corn starch to the pan, stirring until all of the cornstarch is absorbed.  Add Marsala and chicken broth and cook, stirring until the sauce begins to thicken and turn glossy.  Add the heavy cream and bring to a low boil, stirring.  Reduce heat to a simmer and cook 4-5 minutes more until a thick rich sauce has formed.

Add the chicken back into the pan and cover with sauce.  Cook on low for 2-3 minutes until chicken is heated through.

Melt the butter for the sage leaves in a medium frying pan.  When the butter begins to bubble, add the leaves in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes until they are crispy and the butter is light brown in color.

Toss your egg noodles with the butter, salt, and pepper.

Serve the chicken cutlets over the warm egg noodles and top with that luscious mushroom gravy.   Garnish with the fried sage leaves and DEVOUR!!!
