Terrific Tip: In this recipe, Marsala is a key ingredient.  However, any time wine is called for in a recipe, chicken broth or any other liquid used in the recipe may be substituted.

For thin chicken breasts: Place plastic wrap over chicken and pound flat using a meat tenderizer/mallet until about a quarter inch thick. You can also buy thin chicken breasts at the grocery.
