Chicken Marsala

This is my healthier version of the Chicken Marsala you can get at Olive Garden.  I hope you all enjoy.  Notice I don't use measurements for any of my spices or herbs.  That is because they are added to your liking and flavor.  I love Garlic, so I add a lot of garlic to all my dishes.  Some people might not prefer as much as me. Tip:  When using dried herbs, crush in the palm of your hand to bring out the flavor in them.


1lb Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Flour
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Parsley
Onion Powder
1tbsp EVOO

Mix flour and spices together in a bowl. Coat chicken on both sides with the flour mixture.  Then pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper until flatten. (You can eliminate this step and just put right into the oven if you prefer.  I just like my chicken to cook faster.)
In a pan of EVOO, brown the chicken on both sides.  Then add to the oven at 350 degrees.  Cook until no longer pink in the middle.

Marsala Sauce

1tbsp EVOO
1/2 small Onion (diced)
8 oz of mushrooms (save the juice from the cans on the side)
3tbsp Marsala Cooking Wine
1 1/2 bullion cubes
1 1/2 cup Water
1 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
Parsley
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Salt
Pepper

Mix the bullion cubes with the water and put in the microwave for about 2 minutes, or until the bullion is dissolved.  Set aside.

Heat EVOO in a pan, then add onions and mushrooms.  Cook until onions are translucent. 
Add Marsala and cook until some of the liquid has evaporated.  Add the bullion/water mixture and mushroom juice to the pan.  Save a little of the bullion mixture on the side to mix with the cornstarch.  Cook until boiling. Add the cornstarch to the bullion mixture, mix and add to the pan.  Bring to boil and boil until sauce has thickened.  (If sauce doesn't thicken, just add more cornstarch to a little bit of water and add.  You do NOT want to add the cornstarch to the sauce itself because it will not dissolve and will lump.)

Once sauce as thickened, turn down to simmer and add onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.  Simmer for about 5 minutes! 

This entire sauce is 3 WW points.  You can divide how you want among your family. 

Smashed Potatoes

About 14 Red Potatoes
1/2 cup Water
1/2 Bullion Cube
1 tbsp butter
Salt
Garlic Powder
Parsley

Clean and cut the potatoes into equal sizes.  (I leave the skin on the red potatoes.) Add water to potatoes until they are completely submerged.  Boil the potatoes until tender.  Drain.  Microwave water and bullion cube until dissolved. Then add it and the rest of the ingredients to the potatoes.  Then start mashing. 

1/2 cup=2WW points

This entire dish cost me 7WW points, that's including my snap peas.

Can you tell I had already tore into it before I decided I should take a pic?!? lol
And ignore the paper plate.  I hate doing dishes, so paper is the way we go around here.
