Description

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken breasts and savory mushrooms simmered in a rich Marsala wine sauce. It’s a flavorful and elegant meal that’s surprisingly simple to prepare at home.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
    • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
    • Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Sear the Chicken:
    • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Ensure the chicken is cooked through.
    • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
    • Pour in the Marsala wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
    • Let the wine simmer until it reduces by half, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
    • Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens slightly, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Combine and Serve:
    • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them.
    • Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 2 minutes to warm through and meld the flavors.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a creamier sauce, you can increase the amount of heavy cream to 1/2 cup.
  • If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Marsala wine with a mixture of grape juice and balsamic vinegar.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of steamed vegetables.
