Weight Watchers Italian Skillet Chicken Marsala Recipe
Weight Watchers Italian Skillet Chicken Marsala Recipe. This dish is an ideal blend of nutritious ingredients and delicious Italian flavors.
We’re using simple, fresh ingredients – chicken, mushrooms, thyme, and the key element, Marsala wine, which lends a subtle sweetness and complex depth to the dish.
While the recipe is low in fat, it doesn’t compromise on taste.
Perfectly seasoned chicken gets a golden sear, then it’s simmered in a flavorful Marsala wine sauce with tender mushrooms. The aroma is simply irresistible!
The best part? It’s a WW friendly recipe, so you can indulge guilt-free.
Serve this up with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp, green salad to complete your dinner.
This recipe is pretty straightforward, but a couple of tips can help you take it to the next level.
Remember to let the mushrooms cook until they release their liquid – this brings out their earthy flavor.
When adding the cornstarch mixture, stir consistently to avoid lumps and achieve that velvety sauce.
