Instructions:

Roasting Garlic:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the top off a whole bulb of garlic and place it in a small oven-safe pan.
- Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the garlic bulb and roast it in the oven for 30 minutes, until the cloves are soft.
- Once roasted, allow the garlic to cool before squeezing the cloves out of the bulb.

Cooking the Chicken Marsala:
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and place them between sheets of cellophane or wax paper. Use a meat mallet to pound them flat, then season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. Place the flour in another dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then coat them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and the shallots are translucent.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and beef broth, then add the roasted garlic cloves. Stir to combine.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Gradually pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
- Garnish the Chicken Marsala with fresh parsley and serve hot, accompanied by your choice of noodles or mashed potatoes.
