3 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

2 tbsp butter, sweet, divided
1 tbsp oil
6 oz mushrooms, fresh, sliced
1/4 cup marsala
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tsp cornstarch

Instructions:

Combine the flour, salt and pepper on a piece of waxed paper. Dredge
the chicken in the flour mixture to coat well. Heat 1 tablespoon of

cooked chicken on paper toweling.

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Saute the
mushrooms over moderately high heat for 3 minutes. Add the Marsala
wine. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Remove
from the heat.

Place the chicken in a microwave-safe 12 x 8 x 2-inch baking dish
with the thickest parts toward the outside. Pour the mushroom-wine
mixture over all. Cover with waxed paper. Microcook at 100% power
for 6 to 8 minutes until the chicken, rotating the casserole
180 degrees at half time.

Remove the chicken and mushrooms with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Keep
warm. Whisk together the broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until
smooth. Stir into the baking dish liquid. Microcook, uncovered, at
100% power for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and boils,
whisking at half time. Return the chicken and mushrooms to the baking
dish. Spoon sauce over the top and serve with noodles.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"If God grants me longer life, I will see to it that no peasant in my kingdom will lack the means to have a chicken in the pot every Sunday." Henri IV of France, in a conversation with the Duke of Savoy
