Classic Chicken Marsala features tender boneless chicken breasts in a savory mushroom and Marsala wine sauce. This elegant Italian-American dish is perfect for a flavorful dinner served with pasta or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper. Dredge them in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour to ensure a light coating.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust and are cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth into the skillet with the mushrooms, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir in the unsalted butter until it fully melts and the sauce becomes glossy.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the mushroom and Marsala sauce over the top to coat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of pasta or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For extra tenderness, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
  • If Marsala wine is unavailable, substitute with dry sherry or a sweet white wine.
  • Use gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten free if desired.
  • Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles for a classic pairing.
  • You can add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce for a richer taste.
