Notes

Culinarian tips, tricks, and suggestions:  You can use any oil you prefer.  Our favorite oil is Safflower oil; however, when we made this recipe, we used the remaining oil from making breakfast sausage for our Gluten-Free Spicy Breakfast cups in place of the olive oil. 
You can enjoy this easy weeknight dish over your favorite pasta or potatoes.  Our favorite is mashed potatoes. 
For a different twist, you can use marsala wine vs white wine.  This makes for a cheesy spin on chicken marsala. 
Love Bacon?  Saute a few slices of chopped bacon.  Keep the bacon and grease in the pan and add the ingredients according to the recipe.
