The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Pagano's copycat chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is simple to make and full of flavor. The chicken is cooked in a rich Marsala wine sauce and is best served with a side of pasta.

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 teaspoon shallot, diced fine
1/2 teaspoon garlic, crushed
4 whole mushrooms, sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup marsala wine
1/2 cup beef demi-glace *
In a hot pan, saute the sliced chicken breast in a small spoon of butter or olive oil. When the chicken is cooked, add the chopped shallots, garlic and sliced mushrooms.
Stir in about 1/2 cup marsala wine and 1/2 cup demi-glace. Let the sauce reduce until it's nice and creamy by stirring the mixture.
Taste it, add salt or pepper, and serve.

Claudio makes his own demi-glace, which is an extremely involved process of reducing beef bones, stock and wine until it becomes a rich brown glaze. Most markets carry (or can order) prepared demi-glace, which you should use for this recipe.
