Description

A classic and savory Italian-American dish, Chicken Marsala features tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich Marsala wine sauce with earthy mushrooms and fresh parsley. This recipe yields a comforting and flavorful main course that is perfect for a cozy dinner at home.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marsala:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
  2. Season and dredge: In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Sauté mushrooms: Add the remaining butter to the same skillet and sauté the sliced mushrooms until golden, about 5 minutes.
  5. Deglaze and simmer: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Finish cooking: Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
  7. Finish and serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve Chicken Marsala over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • For a creamier version, add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce before serving.
