Description
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound total)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, until they are browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
- Add the chicken broth and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the butter until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce just before serving.
- Serve over pasta or mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
