Italian Recipe - Pollo alla Marsala con Funghi

This Italian recipe is also known as chicken & mushrooms marsala.  It is my absolute favorite Italian recipe of my mom's.  She used to make this for us about once a week.  Mom's cooking is never exact so this is the best guess at actual measurements use more or less for your taste. 

Ingredients

1 cn (15 Oz.) Tomato Sauce (whatever is your favorite or make your own) 
2 lb chicken cutlets 
8 oz Mushrooms Sliced 
2 Tbsp Marsala Wine 
1/2 tsp Sugar 
1/4 tsp Salt 
a pinch of Pepper 

Italian Cooking
  1. In a baking dish combine tomato sauce, mushrooms, sugar salt and pepper. 
  2. Place the chicken cutlets in the dish and thoroughly coat With sauce mixture. 
  3. Cover dish (if dish does not have a cover using tin foil works best) Bake At 350F. for 30 Min. 
  4. VERY IMPORTANT: Turn Chicken Over!! 
  5. Now bake UNCOVERED for 30 Min. Longer. 
  6. Place Chicken on serving platter. Stir Marsala into the sauce and re-coat chicken. 

This great Italian recipe serves about 4 people. You can easily use Tofu intead of chicken cutlets for a great vegetarian take on this dish. We've tried it, and it's just as good!! It can also be done with pork.
