Dream Dinners: Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms and Mashed Potatoes
Thank Goodness for Dream Dinners! Last night, I was tired of leftovers and too tired to go out, so I was happy to have a meal that was quick and easy to make for dinner. I definitely made modifications to this meal by leaving out the mushrooms and adding a side of my delicious green bean casserole (ok, 1 leftover). I started by heating up some oil in a skillet and cooked the chicken breasts for 2 minutes on each side. To the chicken, I added the onion mixture, reducing the heat, and cooking it about 5-6 minutes until the onions were soft. While this was cooking, I put the mashed potatoes in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Next, I added the Marsala sauce to the chicken mix and stirred to blend, allowing it to simmer 5-6 minutes. Once the chicken was done, I removed it from the heat and stirred in some culinary cream. We served the chicken over the potatoes with a side of green bean casserole. My green bean casserole has a jalapeno kick, so the creamy chicken and mashed potatoes were a great addition. Mike was not as impressed as I was, but I really liked it. The chicken was cooked perfectly without being dry and I enjoyed the flavors in the sauce. Once again, Dream Dinners saved the day!
