Description

Classic Italian-American chicken dish in a rich Marsala wine sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts to 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken to skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add mushrooms and shallot to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  7. Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  8. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to the skillet.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until chicken is heated through and sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Stir in heavy cream, if using.
  11. Serve chicken with sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use dry Marsala wine for a savory sauce.
  • Substitute shallot with 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
  • Add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
