Chicken Marsala
A classic Italian-American dish featuring pan-fried chicken cutlets and mushrooms in a rich Marsala wine sauce.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 4 equal pieces and pounded to 0.5 inch thickness
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup butter
- 0.5 pound cremini mushrooms sliced
- 0.5 cup shallots minced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat olive oil and 0.25 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Make the Marsala Sauce
- Add the remaining 0.25 cup butter to the skillet.
- Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add shallots and garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by about half.
- Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it.
Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
