Creamy Rustica Chicken

This sauce is actually a copycat recipe of Romano's Macaroni Grill's Penne Rustica sauce, but it's been Dukan'd and we didn't bake it.  It was still great.  Great flavors and not as heavy as the real thing.  This dish can be served over House Brand Tofu Shirataki noodles.

We omitted a few ingredients and the sauce still came out great!  A slice of Dukan Cheddar Rosemary would be great with this dish also!

RECIPE:
Serves 2, plus one serving of leftovers
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins (unless you decide to bake yours)

3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins
2 T. minced garlic
3 T. marsala wine
2 c. non-fat half-and-half
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 T. cornstarch
1 T. dijon
1 t. dried rosemary
1/2 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. dried thyme
1/2 t. ground cayenne

Season chicken with salt and pepper.  Pan fry chicken.  Removed cooked chicken from pan and keep warm.  Saute garlic for a minute in olive oil non-stick spray in the same pan.  Don't let garlic brown.  Add marsala wine, cook 5 minutes.  Add cornstarch gradually (the wine and garlic sauce will look like a paste).  Add remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.  Bring mixture to simmer and keep at a simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.   Place cooked chicken back into sauce to warm.  Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
