Chicken Marsala
I love Chicken Marsala. Who could say no to a dish that has generous amounts of butter, heavy cream and wine as ingredients? Not to mention the chicken and the mushrooms! The chicken breast lightly sauteed and topped with a sauce made from shallots, mushrooms, fresh sage, butter, heavy cream and Marsala wine. I know that this may sound like [...]

Chicken Cordon Bleu is slices of ham with cheese tightly rolled up in thin pounded chicken breast. In this preparation, prosciutto is used instead of the traditional ham.

Roast Chicken Stuffed with Fennel and Garlic

The plant [...]
