Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breast 4 portions, cutlets
- 4 lices Bacon thick cut is best
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup dry Marsala
- 4 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon parsley minced
Instructions
- Coat a large skillet lightly with olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook just until crisp and lightly browned.
- Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Leave fat in the pan. Put flour on a plate. Pat cutlets dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Heat pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat.
- Add a touch more olive oil if necessary to make approximately 2 tablespoons. When fat is hot, shake excess flour off cutlets and place in pan. Sauté, turning once until browned on both sides.
- Thin cutlets should only take a few minutes per side. Remove cutlets. Pour excess fat from pan. With pan over medium-high heat, add the Marsala and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Cook Marsala until it is reduced by one quarter. Stir in cream and simmer until you get a nicely thickened sauce. Return the chicken and bacon to the pan and turn the cutlets to coat and reheat for a minute. Serve with the sauce over the top, with a sprinkling of parsley.

Notes
- Make sure you are using dry Marsala, sweet Marsala does not taste good.
- Don't worry about buying a bottle of Marsala if you do not drink wine, Marsala is fortified, and will last for about a month if kept in the refrigerator.
