Method

  1. Flatten each chicken breast then cut in half giving you 4 pieces of chicken then fry chicken in a non-stick frypan that has been coated generously with cooking spray for 4 minutes each side. Remove from pan and leave to one side.
  2. Pour Marsala wine into the same frypan and bring to boil.
  3. Add mushrooms, shallots, garlic, dried oregano, pinch black pepper and stock powder. Bring back to boil then reduce to slow boil, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
  4. Combine cornflour with milk and pour into pan, stirring continuously until mixture boils.
  5. Return the chicken to pan and serve once chicken is heated through. Don’t over boil sauce as evaporated milk can separate when over boiled.

Variation: Replace chicken with 4 x 125g lean veal steaks.

Suitable to be frozen for 2-3 weeks.

Dietitian's tip

Removing the skin from the chicken reduces the amount of total and saturated fat in the recipe, making it suitable for people with heart disease and/or diabetes.
