Chicken Marsala Tetrazzini

     This dish is a combination of chicken Marsala and turkey tetrazzini.  The dish will take between thirty-five to forty-five minutes to make, but there are at least six servings if you include a salad and rolls so you can make it for company or if you have leftovers you can freeze them for a dinner later on.  I'm a big fan of the already prepared chickens in the grocery stores so the chicken is already cooked and all you have to do is chop it in pieces.  This is also a good recipe to keep in mind after Thanksgiving when you have turkey left over and you can't think of any more ways to serve it.

                                                         Chicken Marsala Tetrazzini

1 6oz. box mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
1 1/2 tblsp. stick margarine
3 tblsp. Marsala
4 slices turkey bacon
8  oz. angel hair pasta cooked according to package directions
3 tblsp. stick margarine
1/4 cup flour
2 cups lactose free milk
2 tblsp. Marsala
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 8oz. container soy cream cheese, softened
1 cup rice mozzarella cheese
2 cooked chicken breasts

     Spray skillet with cooking spray and melt 1 1/2 tblsp. stick margarine.  Break mushrooms into small pieces and saute until brown.  Turn off flame and add Marsala.  Turn flame back on and simmer until liquid is gone.  Spoon mushrooms into a dish and set aside.
     Using the same skillet, spray with cooking spray again and put in the four slices of turkey bacon.  Cook until crisp being careful not to burn them.  Drain on paper towels then crumble into small pieces.
     Using a large pot, fill with enough water to cook the angel hair pasta.  Cook according to directions.  When it is done, drain and set aside.
     Remove the skin from the chicken and cut into 1/2 inch cubes.
     Using the same pot the pasta was cooked in, melt 3 tblsp. stick margarine.  Sift the flour over the pan and whisk the flour and margarine together.  Add milk, Marsala, salt and white pepper.  Simmer over medium flame until the liquid begins to thicken.  Add the soy cream cheese and rice mozzarella cheese.  Stir until the sauce is smooth being careful it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
     Once the sauce is smooth, add the mushrooms, turkey bacon and chicken.  Serve hot.
     My next recipe is antipasto pinwheel rolls.  These are easy to make and would dress up any dinner or would make a nice addition to a Father's Day brunch or barbeque.  See you next time.
