Chicken Scaloppine with Mushroom Marsala Sauce

My version of a veal dish - very yummy (serves 4)

1/3 cup flour
Salt & Pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 chicken breasts, cut into strips
Oil or One Calorie Spray
1oz (2 tablespoons) butter
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
4 fl oz (1/2) cup sweet marsala wine
4 fl oz (1/2) cup beef broth
4 fl oz (1/2 cup) light cream

1. In a bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper, and the oregano. Lightly dust chicken with flour mixture and set on a plate.

2. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown chicken in oil, turning once, till cooked about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.

3. In the same pan, melt butter, then add mushrooms and garlic; sauté 5 minutes and transfer to a plate.

4.  Add marsala and broth to pan. Cook over high heat until slightly reduced, 5 minutes. Add chicken, cream , salt and pepper to taste. Return to a boil and add mushrooms back just before serving.

Serve with green veg and mashed potatoes.
