Ingredients:

1 lb mushrooms
450g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 cup tomatoes
180g
3 tbsp butter
44g
8 fl oz white wine
230g
1 tsp cornstarch
2.67g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1 tbsp water
15g
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
2 lb chicken breasts
910g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
4 tbsp fresh parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Dice the tomatoes.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the whole-grain wheat flour, gently shaking off any excess flour.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare the Marsala Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly browned.
- Add the minced garlic and diced tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until it has reduced by half.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and bring it to a boil, allowing it to thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy whipping cream and salt. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom marsala sauce over the top. Let the chicken and sauce simmer together for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top just before serving.
6. Serve:
- Enjoy your whole-grain drunken chicken marsala hot, paired with a side of your choice, such as whole-grain pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.

Tips:

- Make sure to slice the mushrooms evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.

- To avoid clumps, dissolve the cornstarch in water before adding it to the sauce.

- Use room temperature chicken breasts to achieve a more consistent cooking result.

- Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness, but it can be substituted with dried parsley if necessary.

- To reduce the alcohol content while retaining flavor, you can simmer the white wine for a few extra minutes before adding it to the dish.

This whole-grain drunken chicken marsala is a nourishing and flavorsome dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Its rich and savory flavors, combined with the wholesome goodness of whole grains, make it an ideal choice for a memorable dinner. Serve it with a side of your favorite vegetables or whole-grain pasta to complete the meal.
