chicken marsala

Eating healthier is definitely on my mind as of late.  I recently dusted off my notebook that I keep my Weight Watchers recipes.  I have many favorites from that collection and many I have saved to prepare later.  Well, I made this Chicken Marsala later and it will be moved to the front as a favorite.  It's not only easy but very tasty!  I have a confession...I have never purchased Marsala wine before so I headed to the wine section at the store and looked up and down the many bottles of wines; not once, but twice and could not find it.  I had to call my sister, as I recalled her making a dish in the past in which she used Marsala.  I was a little embarrassed to learn that this is a cooking wine and is located in the same location where one finds red and white wine vinegar.  Marsala looks like wine, tastes like wine and smells like wine, but it's not shelved with the wines I drink in a pretty wine glass.  For those Weight Watchers out there...POINTS value per serving: 4
