Cooking Instructions

1. Put all the chicken pieces in a plastic bag and add plain flour.
2. Shake the bag until the chicken is coated
3. Melt the butter in a frying pan, but take care not to let it brown
4. Cook chicken in small batches until chicken is brown.
5. Add more butter if needed
6. When sizzling, add Marsala and let it caramelise
7. Put each batch aside in an oven dish
8. Repeat until all chicken is cooked
9. Return chicken to pan, add a little more butter and marsala
10. Add cream and stir through
11. Serve immediately, or cover and store in oven on very low heat

Serving Suggestions

1. If serving as a main, use scaloppini, or thinly sliced chicken, as a whole breast will not cook through before the butter starts to burn.
2. For a dish which is one of many for a party, use tenderloins.
3. Garnish with pinches of fresh parley.
4. You could try this with veal, but make sure it’s very thinly sliced. It will cook very quickly, so be sure to keep it tender.

Buon appetito!
