Chicken Marsala

(From http://southernfood.about.com/od/chickenbreastrecipes/r/bl21220e.htm)

• 4 boneless chicken breast halves without skin
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon basil, dried
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 to 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (1/2 to 1 cup sliced)
• 1/2 cup Marsala wine

Pound chicken to 1/4" thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Combine flour, salt, pepper, and basil; mix well. Heat oil and butter in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour mixture. Cook chicken until lightly browned on first side (about 2 to 3 minutes). Turn chicken and add mushrooms around the chicken pieces. Cook about 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned; stir the mushrooms. Add Marsala wine to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve with hot cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Comments:
This is very good. The chicken turns out quite tender.
