Ahhh, Chicken Marsala — rich, silky, and just fancy enough to impress without breaking a sweat. It’s Italian-American comfort at its finest, with tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a dreamy wine sauce that’s pure date-night or dinner-party gold. 🍷✨
🍄 Chicken Marsala Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally into 4 thin cutlets)
- 1 cup flour (for dredging)
- Salt & pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil or butter (or both!)
- 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup Marsala wine (sweet or dry — sweet gives more depth)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream (optional, for a richer finish)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep Chicken: Pound cutlets slightly if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour.
- Sear Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Sauté Mushrooms: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté mushrooms until browned. Add garlic, cook 1 min.
- Deglaze: Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up all those golden bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Finish Sauce: Add broth (and cream if using). Simmer until slightly thickened, 5–7 mins.
- Combine: Return chicken to the pan. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes to soak up all that flavor.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, or garlic bread. 🍝🥖
