Chicken Marsala and Sesame Kale

Tonight I was in a hurry to make something that was quick and didn't take a lot of time...well, actually, that's all of the time. Here's a great recipe that literally takes minutes (20 tops?) and is way de-lish, healthy, and of course, gluten free. This is a healthier alternative to a regular pasta marsala that is ladened-with-butter:-) (not your Olive Garden Marsala with 2000+ calories-yikes!) 
-Substitute regular flour for the rice flour and you'll have a "regular" marsala.
 Enjoy!
Chicken Marsala
INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 T rice flour (can use sorghum or white rice)
2 T Smart Balance spread or olive oil
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
3/4 c Marsala Cooking Wine
1/4 c water
2 T fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
1 tsp rosemary
DIRECTIONS:
Pound chicken until thin.  Saute or boil until cooked in ~1 tsp olive oil.  In a separate skillet, melt spread (or olive oil) and saute mushrooms over med heat until browned, 10 mins.  Add wine, water, parsley and rosemary. Turn on low.  After chicken is cooked, cut in large chunks and dredge lightly on both sides with flour.  Stir coated chicken in w/ mushrooms mixture.  Keep on low heat, stirring once until sauce is thickened.






Sesame Kale
INGREDIENTS:
1 large bunch kale, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
1 T lemon juice
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 tsp sesame seeds

DIRECTIONS:
Heat olive oil on med heat, add kale.  Saute for ~5 mins until kale slightly cooked.  Sprinkle lemon juice, pepper and seeds and mix while on stove.  Saute for another 2-3 mins until kale is slightly wilted. 
Remove from heat, and place chicken marsala mixture on bed of kale.
Enjoy!!!

About Me

Welcome! As a Registered Dietitian with diet restrictions, I had a sparked interest to share healthy, gluten free recipes with readers! Over the years, cooking has truly become an obsession...and stress reliever. The last five years, I have had to learn how to cook and bake gluten free after being diagnosed with a severe gluten intolerance. With that being said, I have researched, experimented and developed a whole new way to go about food preparation. I now mix all my flours, bake my own GF bread, and alter and create my own recipes. I would love to hear from you with questions, comments, recipe ideas and/or anything and everything in between. Hope you enjoy! Email with questions or comments at: sharleyschreiner@yahoo.com
