Bobby Flay Chicken Marsala Recipe

Let's make some seriously good Chicken Marsala (thank you Bobby Flay!).
Using dry Marsala wine, not sweet, is essential for that signature rich, savory sauce. Sweet Marsala will make the dish unbelievably good.
This recipe benefits from using chicken cutlets that are pounded to an even 1/2-inch thickness for even cooking. 
Be sure to thoroughly dry the chicken cutlets before dredging them in flour; this helps them brown beautifully.
Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken; work in batches to get that proper browning.
