   • Using a meat mallet or the flat side of a heavy knife, flatten each piece of chicken to a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch.

4. Prepare Marsala Sauce:

   • Add Marsala wine to the skillet.
   • Bring the wine to a boil over medium heat.
   • Simmer the wine until the liquid is reduced by half, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

5. Finish and Serve:
