Clean Eating: Chicken Marsala

I love, love, love chicken marsala. However, the traditional recipe isn't quite clean and is definitely NOT 21 Day Fix approved.

Bummer.

However, I started to think about what it was about the dish that I loved so much.... I'm pretty sure it's the flavor of the marsala wine with the mushrooms and chicken. The good news is - all three of those items ARE clean AND 21 Day Fix approved :-)

So, this recipe is not creamy nor is it loaded with fat, but it was full of flavor! I totally recommend..

Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp olive oil
1 small package of mushrooms
1/4 cup marsala wine

Instructions:
1. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste. Brown in the olive oil (about 4 minutes per side.) Chicken will finish cooking later.

2. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. Add marsala wine and mushrooms. Stir to de-glaze pan and cook off alcohol for at least one minute.

3. Add chicken back into pan, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken.



Finish off with some sauteed asparagus (with very little olive oil, salt, & pepper) and brown rice, and you have yourself a clean, FLAVORFUL, balanced meal! 

For 21 Day Fix purposes.... you have 1.5 green, 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 tsp. 

Enjoy <3 p="">
