Chicken "Marsala"

There's no real recipe for this one anymore. Jim butchered a chicken with the new Wüsthof cleaver Peta gave him for Christmas. He pounded out the breasts, put jerk rub onto the wings and into the fridge, put the whole legs into a bag for Peta's chicken into the fridge and chopped up the carcass and froze (liver separate).

After sautéing sliced onion and button mushrooms in butter/oil, Jim took the pounded breasts and dredged in salt, pepper and marjoram flour and fried in butter and oil.

NOTE: In retrospect, the breasts must be shaken thoroughly and the fat must be hot to avoid a gluey coating.

The chicken was moved into a warming oven and the pan was deglazed with Madiera (no Marsala in the cupboard) and the mushrooms and onions were added. Jim added a little butter to the sauce and poured over the chicken. Vegetables? Yeah, we had them but who can remember what they were.
