Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich and flavorful Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step 1: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Step 2: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Step 4: Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Step 5: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
- Step 6: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until they are browned and tender.
- Step 7: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Step 8: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce has reduced slightly.
- Step 9: Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Step 10: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
