Chicken marsala recipe is a classic Italian-American dish that features tender chicken breasts simmered in a flavorful mushroom and Marsala wine sauce. The umami of the mushrooms and the richness of the wine create the ideal balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors. Here’s a 30-minute recipe for making chicken marsala at home.

Components:

• Four 1½-pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• To taste, add salt and pepper.
• One cup of dredging all-purpose flour
• Four tablespoons of butter without salt
• Two teaspoons of olive oil
• Eight ounces of sliced cremini or white mushrooms
• Half a cup of sweet Italian wine, Marsala
• Half a cup of low-sodium chicken broth, ideally
• Two tablespoons of freshly cut parsley for garnish
• One teaspoon of fresh thyme, if desired, to add taste

Directions:

1. Get the chicken ready:

• Sandwich the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or meat mallet, gently pound them until they are about ½ inch thick. This guarantees rapid and uniform cooking of the chicken.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken breasts’ two sides.

2. Dredge the chicken:

• Put the all-purpose flour in a small dish. Coat each chicken breast evenly on both sides by softly pushing it in the flour. Any extra flour should be shaken off. Once seared, this procedure will help produce a crispy exterior.

3. Prepare the chicken:

• In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Don’t overcrowd the pan; after the oil is heated, put the chicken breasts in a single layer. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. A temperature of 165°F (75°C) should be reached within. After taking the chicken out of the skillet, place it on a dish to rest.

4. The mushrooms are sautéed:

• Put two tablespoons of the butter in the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms when it has melted, and cook them for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are soft and browned. Stir from time to time to avoid scorching. Let the mushrooms brown until the majority of the liquid has drained because they leak water during cooking.

5. Deglaze the pan:

• Add the Marsala wine to deglaze the pan once the mushrooms have browned. Using a wooden spoon, scrape off any brown pieces from the skillet’s bottom. Allow the wine to decrease somewhat by simmering it for approximately three minutes.

6. Prepare the sauce:

• Pour the chicken stock into the skillet and mix everything together. To further reduce the sauce and enable the flavors to combine, let it simmer for a further three to four minutes. You may now add a tiny amount of cornstarch dissolved in water (1 tablespoon each) if you want a richer sauce.

7. Complete the Dish:

• Nestle the chicken breasts into the mushroom sauce and return them to the pan. Make sure the chicken is well cooked and covered with the delicious sauce by letting it simmer in the sauce for a further three to five minutes.

8. Serve after garnishing:

• After the chicken is well covered and the sauce has thickened, take the pan off of the burner. If preferred, garnish with fresh thyme and parsley. Make sure to pour lots of the mushroom sauce over the hot Chicken Marsala as you serve it over rice, spaghetti, or mashed potatoes.

Advice: 

• To get a distinct taste, try using button mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms instead.
• Choose a dry Marsala wine over a sweet one if you like your wine less sweet.
• Finally, add ¼ cup of heavy cream and whisk until integrated for a creamier sauce.

With a rich, flavorful sauce and delicate chicken that will wow everyone, this Chicken Marsala dish adds a little piece of Italy to your dinner table. Have fun!
