Cakes and Recipes

I will be posting family recipes and a few cakes that I have made thru the years. I am self taught or I should say mother taught. I have always enjoyed decorating cakes but not baking the cakes. Once I got the hang of decorating my mother would bake and let me decorate, but as the years are going on her hands hurt her to even do the baking. Recipes are family recipes that I have made for my family that were handed down from my mother, my dear departed mother-in-law Lucille, and my dear departed grandmother Hisle and new recipes that I have tried and enjoyed making.

Chicken Marsala

• 6-8 chicken strip or 4 boneless skinless chicken breast
• stick unsalted butter, not margarine
• small container sliced mushrooms
• or lg. if you really like mushrooms like I do
• 1 bottle Marsala cooking wine
• flour
• salt
• pepper
• cooked angel hair pasta or pasta of your choice

 Melt butter in skillet, (I like to use an iron one that my mother-in-law gave me years ago)

 

saute mushrooms in melted butter until slightly cooked then remove from skillet

 

while mushrooms are cooking combine enough flour to dredge chicken in, along with salt and pepper to taste

 

after putting chicken in a plastic bag with flour, salt and pepper I seal bag then just roll it with a rolling pin to flatten chicken and it makes it super tender,

 

brown chicken on both sides in butter

 

remove chicken, pour bottle or 2 C. of cooking wine in skillet to deglaze pan then put chicken and mushrooms back in pan with the wine, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 min. place on cooked pasta and serve immediately
