This chicken tender marsala with peas is an easy recipe to make when you’re looking for a twist on the traditional marsala meal. 


 

Chicken Marsala with Peas

Here goes another dish made out of necessity.  Well….maybe not necessity, but poor planning on my part.

The other night I had “planned” on making this easy lemon chicken dish, without making sure if I had lemons- oops!

Can’t make a lemon dish without lemons, right?   So I checked the pantry and grabbed some Marsala wine to use instead.

Instinctively, I would’ve sauteed some mushrooms with that too, but nope, didn’t have those either.  The peas WERE on hand and my Lemon Chicken Paillard magically became Chicken Marsala with Peas.  

I must say it was pretty darn good and so of course I needed to share it with all of you!

Quick post for a quick meal.  Made this one in about 20 minutes.  Now if that’s not a winner of a chicken dinner, I don’t know what is! Happy Cooking and enjoy!

Return the chicken tenders to the pan, lower the heat and continue to cook until the sauce reduces and begins to thicken (about 5 minutes).
