Clarified butter (butter without the milk solids) is ideal for searing
meats because it can be heated to a high temperature without burning.
Although you can purchase clarified butter, we detail how to make it
below in the first step.


4 tablespoons butter, divided
Cooking spray
1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
1/2 cup frozen green peas
2 tablespoons half-and-half
4 cups hot cooked fettuccine (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta)

Place 3 tablespoons butter in a small glass measuring cup. Microwave
butter at MEDIUM-HIGH 45 seconds or until melted. Let stand 1 minute.
Skim foam from surface, and discard. (Mixture will appear separated.)
Pour melted butter through a fine sieve over a small bowl, and discard
the milk solids. Set the clarified butter aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over
medium-high heat; add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Cook 3 minutes
or until moisture evaporates; remove mushroom mixture from pan. Set
aside.

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic
wrap; pound to a 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling
pin. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8
teaspoon pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge chicken breast
halves in flour.

Add clarified butter to pan, and place over medium-high heat. Add
chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove
chicken from pan. Return mushroom mixture to pan; add broth and
Marsala, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring mixture to a boil,
reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Stir in
peas; cook 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon butter, half-and-half, 1/8
teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, stirring until butter melts.
Return chicken to pan; cook until thoroughly heated. Serve chicken and
sauce over pasta.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half, 1 cup pasta,
and 1/4 cup sauce)
