Killer Chicken Marsala in 3 Simple Steps

Description

Classic Chicken Marsala recipe with pan-fried chicken cutlets and a mushroom-Marsala wine sauce.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally into thin cutlets.
  2. Place flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Add shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  7. Pour in Marsala wine and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced slightly.
  8. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 1-2 minutes, coating the chicken with the sauce.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use dry Marsala wine for best results. Sweet Marsala will make the sauce too sweet.
  • You can substitute other mushrooms like button or shiitake.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, or with mashed potatoes.
