- Combine ¼–½ cup (depending on how thick you like it) all-purpose flour with rosemary and thyme in a gallon size zip-top bag.
- Set aside.
- Pound chicken breasts flat under a water-spritzed sheet of plastic wrap with a pie plate and a heavy food can, or pound down lightly with a tenderizing hammer.

- Season each piece with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Dip each piece of chicken into eggs then toss in seasoned flour.
- Heat oil in large stainless steel skillet over medium high heat (don't even think about using a nonstick surface).
- Add chicken breasts and cook until deeply browned on each side.
- Remove and keep warm.
- Add marsala to pan and ignite either by tilting or fire stick/lighter.
- Whisk to loosen browned bits until reduced by ¾.
- Add broth and tomato paste to pan and whisk to combine.
- Add chicken breasts and lower heat to medium low heat.
- Simmer for 7 minutes.
- Serve warm with garlic bread and some espresso.
