Description
Chicken Marsala with Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
2 large chicken breasts (halved lengthwise into cutlets)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
For the Marsala Sauce:
1 cup cremini or button mushrooms (sliced)
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for a creamier sauce)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until mushrooms are browned and tender.
Make the Sauce: Deglaze the skillet with Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add chicken broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in heavy cream, if using.
Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for another 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken until fully cooked.
Serve: Plate the chicken, spoon the mushroom sauce on top, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes.
