Here is a truly quick and easy Chicken Marsala Recipe:
Making a quick side dish is one thing; I wanted to see if I could take it to the next level. How fast could I create an entire dinner? I took one particular shortcut – I used Land O Lakes Sauté Express®, which eliminated preparing and sauteing fresh garlic and proved to be a big timesaver. I formulated a plan for a quick dinner recipe, set a timer, and started cooking. I was able to create an amazingly delicious Chicken Marsala that my family raved about with Garlic Green Beans and Potatoes on the side in 20 minutes. Faster than I could have pizza delivered and so much more wholesome.
Save the wrappers! Place the wrappers in a baggy and put them in the freezer to use later to grease casserole dishes. It is a flavorful alternative to greasing your pans with butter or oil alone.
I took a recipe for Easy Chicken Marsala that I found on the Land O’ Lakes website and made it even faster and easier by replacing several of the ingredients with Sauté Express® Garlic & Herb Sauté Starter.
While the Chicken Marsala was cooking, I started sauteing green beans and potatoes in Sauté Express® Garlic and Herb Sauté Starter.
Quite a few potatoes wedges were stolen by people walking through the kitchen as I cooked. Next time, I will have to factor that in and add an extra potato to the recipe.
