Description
A classic Chicken Marsala recipe featuring tender chicken, savory mushrooms, garlic, and a rich cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in Marsala wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Return chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a good quality Marsala wine.
- If you don’t have Marsala wine, you can substitute with dry sherry or Madeira wine.
- Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
