Ingredients

Preparation

2  tablespoons  unsalted butter

1  tablespoon  vegetable oil

4  skinned boned chicken breast halves

4  ounces  mozzarella cheese, 4 slices, 1 oz. each

12  capers, drained

1  tablespoon  fresh parsley, chopped

1  clove   garlic,  minced

3  tablespoons  marsala wine

2/3  cup  whipping cream

1 pinch  salt

1 pinch  pepper

1. Heat butter and oil in 10" skillet over medium-high heat. When foam subsides, add chicken; reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered, turning once, until chicken is deep golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

2. Top each chicken piece with one cheese slice, 3 capers and 1 anchovy fillet. Sprinkle with parsley. Cook covered over low heat just until cheese is semi-melted, about 3 minutes. Remove chicken from pan to heated serving platter. Place in warm oven to keep warm.

3. Add garlic to drippings in skillet; saute over medium heat 30 seconds. Stir in marsala; cook, stirring and scraping up brown pieces. Stir cream. Cook uncovered, stirring constantly until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve at once.
