FAST FIX

SPEEDY CHICKEN MARSALA

I created my own version of a favorite restaurant dish. You can make it in a flash on a busy night.

—Trisha Kruse, Eagle, ID


Takes: 30 min. • Makes: 4 servings

8 oz. uncooked whole wheat or multigrain angel hair pasta

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 oz. each)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp. lemon-pepper seasoning

1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided

4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1 garlic clove, minced

1 cup dry Marsala wine

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Pound chicken with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. In a large resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, lemon pepper and salt. Add chicken, one piece at a time; close bag and shake to coat.

2. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. oil over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Remove from pan.

3. In the same skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add wine; bring to a boil. Cook for for 5-6 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half, stirring to loosen the browned bits from pan. Return chicken to the pan, turning to coat with sauce; heat through.

4. Drain pasta; serve with chicken mixture.
