Chicken Marsala

Chicken Marsala is a one-pot meal with soft chicken breasts in delicious mushroom marsala sauce and ready in about 30 minutes.

Chicken Marsala Ingredients Tips

Chicken: UE boneless chicken breast, boneless chicken thighs or chicken thighs, or cutlets.

Marsala: Marsala is a fortified wine from Sicily. Choose dry marsala wine rather than sweet variety. It is used to create Italian desserts. It can be replaced with sherry, harbor or Madeira. Sauce: This marsala sauce is thickened with chicken soup, butter, shallots and thyme in flour. Mushrooms: Use a variety of mushrooms. I love Baby Bella (aka Cremini Mushrooms), but the white mushrooms and Porto Bello are also great options.

Variations

Flavor: Add garlic along with mushrooms. Shallots can be replaced with red or white onions. Creamy: It’s not traditional, but at the end of step 2, whisk about ¼ cup heavy whipped cream to prepare a creamy sauce. Vegetables: Add chopped asparagus, spinach, or peas to add more texture and color.

Decorate with parsley and make it desirable.

Storage and leftovers

Store remaining chicken marsala in a fridge airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in a microwave or stovetop over medium heat.

Freeze the cooling section in the zipper bag for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or lower in the valley.

Cover the chicken breast with plastic wrap and pound up to ¼ inch thick using the flat side of the meat mallet or the gentle pins. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with flour.

In a large skillet, preheat the olive oil over medium high heat. Cook chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes or until cooked. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

To make sauce

To the same bread, add 2 tablespoons of butter, thyme and shallots and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until tender. Add the mushrooms and cook until juice is released, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1½ tablespoons of flour and cook for another minute.

Pour in the marsala wine and stock or soup and simmer until thick and bubbly, about 3 minutes.

Return the chicken to the bread and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until cooked.

Serve on garnish and pasta.
