This recipe is a lighter take on the traditional Chicken Marsala dish. It cuts calories without sacrificing taste. Great for a filling dinner during the week.

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. 1 tablespoon olive oil. 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth. 1/2 cup Marsala wine. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped.

Instructions: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic. Cook until mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
