Chicken Marsala

From the awesome cookbook of taste of home Comfort Food Diet Cook Book, come delicious Chicken Marsala! ohh my was this good, and I served it with buttered, parsley egg noodles, with the extra sauce on them. I loved it!! The chicken was like butter, so juicy and tender, and since I love mushrooms it totally hit the spot!!! quite easy to make as well! Though.. before you think it's quick, there were 2 things that snuck up on me!.The chicken will need to be pounded and it marinates over night. I like to not read all the way through and haha that was far from cool, we ended up at our fave Mexican restaurant while it marinated for the next night ;) .. and no I did not plan on that hehe.
