Chicken, Peppers, Onions, and Mushrooms with Marsala Wine

The title of this post kind of says it all, except how good it was.  I started by sauteing a chicken breast that I had sliced up in a skillet until golden brown.  I removed the chicken and sauteed onion and red peppers and finally mushrooms.  Once the mushrooms were tender and the onions started to caramelize, I added the Marsala and chicken back to the pan.  I let it cook for a minute or so and spooned this fragrant mixture over brown rice.  I just love the smell of Marsala wine cooking down.

I served this with a Greek Salad consisting of romaine, red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese dressed with a lemon/oregano vinaigrette.

Can't wait to have this again!
