Description
Make restaurant-style Chicken Marsala quickly at home. This recipe features tender chicken cutlets in a rich, creamy sauce made with Marsala wine and fresh mushrooms.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin into cutlets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken cutlet lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until they release their liquid and brown.
- Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Do not boil after adding cream.
- Return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve this dish over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
- If you do not have Marsala wine, you can substitute it with dry sherry or beef broth mixed with a splash of balsamic vinegar for depth.
- Pounding the chicken breasts thin ensures quick, even cooking.
