Fit Chicken Marsala: His + Hers

It's been way too long guys! I'm a prime example of having WAY to much to do these days! I definitely don't get to share fun stuff with you guys as much as I would like BUT I am going to attempt 1 post per week, it can't be that hard, right!? So with that said, it's been forever since I've shared one of my recipes with y'all, so here goes...

Who doesn't like classic Italian dinner dishes? When I think "classic" I lasagna, spaghetti, and CHICKEN MARSALA! Don't you wish you could eat them all the time? Well, now you can (chicken marsala anyways)! I have created my own "fit" version which is much healthier than what you’re used to, but still good and without completely lacking in flavor. If you're like me and your Mr. isn’t into all your healthiness, don't worry, I've got you covered! I'll never be one of those people who cook different meals to suit everyone’s wants, no sir. I simply take a normal dinner dish and tailor it to my needs while cooking the full version for my other half. It doesn't take any more time and we both get what we want! Can I get an amen!

Chicken Marsala: His + Hers

Ingredients:

1 lb Chicken breasts

5 Tbsp Olive oil

1 Package sliced button mushrooms

1/4 C Chopped Prosciutto (optional)

1C Marsala Wine

1 Capsule Chicken Stock (condensed) or 1C Chicken Broth (Low sodium)

2 Tbsp butter

1-2 Zucchini

1. Cut chicken breasts in half (long ways) to create thinner breasts. Take 2Tbsp of olive oil and heat in your pan 15 seconds on medium, add chicken, let cook roughly 5 minutes each side until golden brown. Set aside (I usually set in the microwave to stay warm).

2. While my chicken is cooking, I spiral my zucchini into noodles.

3. Once the chicken has been removed from the pan add your prosciutto and cook until golden, roughly 3 minutes. You want to keep all the brown bits in the pan, this adds flavor!

4. Add your additional olive oil and throw in the mushrooms, cook down until mushrooms are brown. If you are going to cook angel hair pasta, set your pasta water to boil.

5. Add in chicken broth (or condensed stock), marsala wine, and butter. Turn up your heat to high and bring to a boil. Once your sauce boils, turn back down to a simmer.

This is where we get to the His + Hers part. For the full version, add the chicken breasts back to the sauce to heat up and absorb the flavors. Turn the breasts every couple of minutes. For the "fit" version, leave the breasts in the microwave and do not add to the sauce.

6. Sautee your zucchini noodles for roughly 3-5 minutes to soften. If you are cooking angel hair pasta, throw your noodles in the boiling water to cook.

Hers: Set your chicken breast on top of your zucchini noodles, scoop some of the mushrooms out of the sauce pan and place on top of your chicken (no sauce). Add a veggie and side salad.

His: Place your pasta on your plate and top with chicken and sauce. Add a veggie and side salad.

Voila! Enjoy!
