Chicken Marsala ala His Hotness and My FIRST GIVEAWAY!!! 3 Will Win!

Chicken Marsala

Tyler is absent this week from my TFF(Tyler Florence Fridays) post. Yeah, wanna know why? Well, he was busy doing this

and then this

and then this,

and the final straw was this, speaking to the bottle! I had it. This was Unacceptable! Not on OUR day!

I got so mad at him.. doesn't he know how precious our Friday cooking sessions are?? He tried to fight back telling me He was OK to cook,

but I didn't accept his apologies. I sent him packing. And boy, was he furious! He was in the wrong, but Furious nonetheless! He looks kinda hot when he's furious. Take me Great Dane!

But then he showed up a bit later with these glasses on, and I melted a bit,

and oh lord, eyeglasses are like my FFHs (firefighter husband)firefighter boots, it just does something to me, its twinge making. He promises to be back in my saddle again next week, and GUESS WHAT!!!??? He is bringing me a GIFT!! A GIFT for me, from My Guy TY!! To be revealed next week, OH-- the suspense, I just love when he teases me, love it, love it, oh, yes, and I love it! I can NOT wait to see what it is.. The anticipation is killing me. I hope you come back and visit me to see what he gives me, see if his gift is worthy of my forgiveness. Lotsa business to take car of today, a recipe for TFF,

and giveaway details. SO, this is gonna be a quickie.

Speaking of quickies, do you like them? They have their moments. I've been practicing for ONE specific quickie for a while.. I mean we've all done the normal quickies in the limo, the bathroom of a friends house, the backyard of a neighbors house, the hotel pool, the airplane, the dressing room at Target, the balcony of a bar in Key West, under the boardwalk, under the bleachers, in a hot air balloon, deck of a cruise ship, elevator in Atlantic City, you know the norm. BUT I have always had trouble with ONE specific quickie. You know which one?? THE CAR WASH!!

I have tried and tried but the deed was never fully accomplished until this afternoon. YAY! Mission Fulfilled. Took a while , it was a challenge, but if you'd like to try I recommend the following:

• Make sure partner is driving
• Get the partner hot and bothered prior to entering the car wash.
• Practice your Kegels for weeks before
• Good tunes on the radio
• Miniskirt, no undergarments
• Your cell phone camera to record it all.
• Then go post it on You tube.
• Thank me later

Chicken Marsala ala Tyler Florence can be found here.

Get some chicken breasts about 4-6, and flatten them to about 1/4 inch thickness. Put some flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, in a shallow pan, and mix with a fork to distribute evenly. Coat your chicken with the flour and set aside.Heat your oil in a large skillet, and pan fry the chicken on both sides till golden.

Set aside and keep warm. Lower heat to medium and add your prosciutto to the drippings in skillet,

and saute for 1 minute. Then add your mushrooms,

and saute till nicely browned and moisture has evaporated,about 5 minutes.

Season with your Salt and pepper. Pour your Marsala in the pan,

cook for a few seconds, then add the chicken broth and simmer for 1 minute to reduce slightly. Add the butter and slide the chicken back in the pan.

Simmer gently for 1 minute to heat chicken through. Season again with salt and pepper. Garnish with the parsley.

Serve with sauce poured over.

This was delicious. It was moist, flavorful and I will be making it again! My FFH actually gave it 10 stars, he even gave 10 stars to the new side dish I made--another post, another day.

AND no, he didn't say 10 stars because of the car wash quickie triumph incident, he thoroughly enjoyed it!! Thanks His Hotness!

You made my fire guy a happy man!!
