    List of Ingredients




    Olive oil
    4 thin chicken breast cutlets
    2 oz. low salt bacon, cut into 1⁄4-inch pieces
    1⁄2 cup flour
    Coarse salt
    Fresh ground pepper
    1⁄2 cup dry Marsala wine
    2 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream
    Minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

    Recipe



    • 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 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
