Chicken/Veal Marsala

An Italian restaurant staple -- but soooo easy to make in your own home.

Start with breaded chicken or veal cutlets:  http://judyfoodislove.blogspot.com/2014/09/breaded-chicken-cutlets.html.

Using the same pan, add 1-2 more tbsp. of olive oil, one shallot which you've sliced thinly, and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms (I like Baby Bellas, but white button are fine too).  Cook these until the mushrooms start to wilt and then turn the heat up to medium/high.

Add 1 cup of marsala wine (a $5-6 bottle is more than good enough for cooking, but do NOT buy anything labled "cooking wine" because it's full of extra salt).  Be very careful if you're cooking on a gas stove because it might flame up.

Let the wine reduce by about 50% and then rewarm the meat in the sauce so that it's thoroughly coated.

Serve with the remaining sauce and mushroom mixture spooned over the meat and enjoy!
