My super easy Chicken Marsala knock off recipe.

My Husband and I love going to eat at a local restaurant called The Suite, It's a cozy little place that serves Italian and Mediterranean style food that is always wonderful. It can be a little costly whenever we go but it is always worth it, I usually get the Chicken Marsala with Roasted veggies and I am never disappointed. I love this dish so much that I would say that I am slightly addicted to it, which brought me to the inspiration to come up with this super easy concoction.  We don't always have the money,time or wine to make that wonderfully light mushroom and white wine reduction to smother our sauteed chicken breast in on a weeknight, but we do usually have the ingredients to make my almost as satisfying recipe in our pantry. When I list the recipe you are going to be like " Is she serious ?" Yes I am and it comes out wonderful every time my husband goes gaga over it. 

Easy Chicken Marsala Knock off Recipe 

      • I use 4 Large Boneless Chicken Breast 
      • 1 Can of Golden Mushroom Soup 
      • 4 Oz. of Softened Cream Cheese 
      • Half a bottle of Kraft Italian Dressing ( I use the roasted red pepper kind)
      • 1 tsp. Of Basil 
      • 1 tsp. Of Garlic powder 
      • Salt and Pepper to taste  
When it comes to the seasonings you can play around with those depending on whether or not you enjoy more Herbs or not I sometimes even add just a pinch of Cayenne pepper for a extra flare. 
 You take the Softened Cream Cheese, Italian dressing, Golden Mushroom soup, and seasonings and mix them all together really well .
 I then salt and pepper my Chicken Breast on both sides just for flavor.
 Then you just cover the Chicken Breast in your Mushroom sauce and make sure both sides are coated and bake at 375. As far as a time goes I'm awful at keeping time of things when I am cooking I would say about 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and thick and appears somewhat reduced.
 Mean while I usually begin to prepare my side dishes. Last night I made oven roasted garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I almost always fix mashed potatoes with this because the extra sauce is just so good on top of them.

 And here is your finished Product , although not Gourmet it is a fast , easy and delicious weeknight meal that will defiantly curve your craving for the real thing. At least for a little while that is, if your anything like me. Its also really good paired with Rosemary and Garlic roasted Potatoes and Roasted Brussels Sprouts but my husband loves green beans so that's what he got.
