• 1/2 cup dry Marsala cooking wine

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees

5. Increase heat under skillet to medium-high and stir in Marsala, sherry and garlic. Cook and stir until thickened, making sure to scrape the bottom of the dish to bring up any browned bits of chicken left in the pan. Once sauce has thickened, mix chicken broth into skillet and continue to cook and stir unti reduced to about 1/2 cup.
6. Remove skillet from heat. Mix butter/margarine in until melted. Remove baking dish from oven and put chicken on serving plates. Spread sauce from skillet over the chicken.
