Tender pieces of chicken are coated with a tangy mushroom sauce and served over wide egg noodles. Marsala wine is a must in this hearty, comforting dish. It’s made in Sicily, and it gives the sauce a rich flavor. For the mushrooms, you can use whatever mix of mushrooms that you like. Try white button mushrooms or, for a richer flavor, use creminis, which are also sometimes labeled as baby bella mushrooms. Pounding the chicken not only makes it cook more quickly and evenly, but it also helps tenderize the meat. Serve this chicken Marsala with a side salad with mixed greens and plum tomatoes to complete your meal.
