I am on location in sunny Florida, enjoying spring break. I’ll still be sharing my cooking experiences, starting with this incredible Chicken Marsala. To be fair, I played the role of observer and photographer while my Mom did most of the cooking. First, she coated the chicken breasts in flour seasoned with salt and pepper, and pan fried them in some oil. Then she removed them from the pan and set them aside.

Then, she sliced up some mushrooms, and cooked those in a mix of melted butter and Marsala wine:

She added some fresh spinach to the pan, and she might have thrown in a little more wine as the spinach wilted. The chicken breasts were placed back in the pan with the lid on to finish cooking. Here is the final product, which was amazing.

But the best part is the fantastic view we enjoyed while eating on the lanai.
