Chicken Marsala On A Bed Of Zuchinni Noodles Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut on a baking dish lined with tinfoil (for easy clean-up). Place the chicken this dish and sprinkle the cayenne pepper powder, oregano, and basil evenly over the chicken breasts. Place in the middle rack of the oven to bake for 25 minutes.

Immediately upon placing the chicken in the oven, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil or coconut oil in to a sauce pan and turn to medium heat. While the oil is heating up dice the onion, chop the garlic, and slice the mushrooms. Once the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, and mushroom and sauté until the mushrooms are tender.

Once the mushrooms reach the desired texture add 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour and sauté an addition 1 minute. The mixture will have thickened up; now add the ½ cup of Marsala wine to deglaze the pan.

Once the pan is deglazed, add the 1.5 cups of beef stock and cook on low-medium heat until the sauce reduces and thickens up. While the Marsala sauce is thickening up, use a carrot peeler or mandolin to slice the zucchini in to strips of roughly the same length and width. When you begin peeling pieces with seeds, rotate the zucchini and begin peeling another side; the seeds will prevent the zucchini noodles from holding form.

At this point the chicken should be done; place the baked chicken on a generous bed of zucchini and top the chicken with the Marsala sauce. Enjoy!
