Introduction
This recipe is easy enough for even a novice cook, yet is elegant enough to serve when entertaining.
It is also healthy as it uses only a minimal amount of oil. Imported porcini mushrooms can now be found in many grocery stores, and certainly at Italian specialty stores. To complete this meal, I might serve it with an herb-flavored rice, or garlic mashed potatoes. A tasty sautéed green such as spinach or broccoli rabe would round out the meal nicely.
Ingredients

1 oz. Dried Porcini_Mushrooms
8 oz. Fresh White Button_Mushrooms
4 Chicken Breast Halves, Skinned
Flour For Dredging
Salt & Pepper
3 Tablespoons Olive_Oil
2/3 Cup Dry Marsala_Wine
1/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Parsley

Directions
Step: 1

Re hydrate the porcini mushrooms in 1 cup warm water for about 30 minutes. Remove from the water, pat dry with paper towels, and chop coarsely. Strain the porcini water, and set aside to use later. Slice the fresh mushrooms thinly. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, and then brown in a skillet with the oil over medium heat. Once well browned, remove the chicken and set aside.

Cook the sliced mushrooms in the same pan until tender and golden brown. If the pan becomes too dry, use a little of the porcini liquid to moisten it. Return the chicken pieces to the pan with the mushrooms, and add the porcini, the Marsala wine and 1/4 cup of the porcini liquid. Taste, and season with salt and pepper if needed. Turn down to medium low heat, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes. If the juices begin to evaporate too much while cooking, add a few tablespoons of the porcini water. When completed, the sauce should be thick and creamy. To serve, place chicken pieces on a platter, spoon over the juices, and sprinkle with the fresh parsley.
