I made this for the Make It Healthier tag variation. It does have lower fat and cholesterol, but not lower sodium than the wonderful recipe of Cucina Casalingo's"Recipe#270770,#270770". I hope you enjoy it:)

Steps:
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and oregano.
- Add chicken breasts to bag and shake to coat.
- Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
- Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, saute mushrooms in butter for 3 minutes or until tender.
- Stir in broth and wine. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes over medium heat or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
- Pour over chicken breasts.
Tips:
- Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry or semi-dry Marsala is best. Avoid using a sweet Marsala, as it will make the dish too sweet.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and dry.
- Use a variety of mushrooms. You can use any type of mushrooms you like in this dish. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- Add some fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and sage, can add a lot of flavor to this dish. Add them towards the end of cooking so they don't lose their flavor.
- Serve with your favorite sides. Chicken Marsala can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
Conclusion:
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This healthier version of the dish uses less butter and cream, but it is still just as delicious. Give it a try tonight and see for yourself!
