Equipment
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts - about 1 pound, boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter - divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and start to brown.
- Deglaze the skillet with Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve the Chicken Marsala hot over cooked pasta or with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
Variation: For a creamier sauce, add a splash of heavy cream towards the end of cooking.
Tips: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking.
Helpful Note: Serve the Chicken Marsala over pasta or with a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
