Ingredients

Servings

Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts this is about 3 medium chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil more as needed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Marsala Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine see post for substitutes
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth chicken stock can be used
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Chicken

  1. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 2 thin pieces from each breast. 
  2. Pound the chicken pieces to about ¼ inch thick. Heat the oil to medium high heat in a deep large skillet.
  3.  Place the flour, salt, and pepper onto a plate. Whisk this together with a fork.
  4. Take each piece of chicken one at a time and coat it with the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour mixture, then place the pieces into the hot oil. Cook just a few pieces of chicken at a time so that the pan is not overcrowded.
  5. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked fully through and seared to a golden brown.

Chicken Marsala Sauce

  1. To make the marsala sauce, melt butter in the skillet after removing the chicken. Add the mushrooms and diced onions and cook for 3 minutes.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and minced garlic. Stir and cook for 1 minutes. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to release any of the flavorful bits that may be stuck there.
  3. Whisk in Marsala wine and simmer it for 1 minute. Whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream.
  4. Bring the creamy sauce mixture to a low boil. Then reduce heat and simmer it to thicken and reduce the sauce, deglazing the pot every so often. Cooking time will take 8 to 10 minutes, you want to give it plenty of time to develop a rich golden color and thicken.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet continuing to heat for a few minutes in the mushroom sauce, or until the chicken is heated through. Serve.

Notes

  • This dish can be made to your liking. While this recipe makes enough sauce for six pieces of chicken, if you like a lot of sauce, feel free to double the sauce recipe. You can easily add more or less mushrooms and onions, based on your tastes.
  • Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Leftovers may be frozen for up to 3 months.
