Ingredients
Flour Coating
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 4 chicken breasts or 2 large, sliced in half, skinless
Marsala Wine Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup onion minced or shallot
- 2 cups mushroom sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup dry Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place the ingredients for the flour coating in a medium sized bowl and whisk together until combined.
- If you haven't already, pound your chicken breasts with a meat mallet until they are about 3/4 of an inch thick. Alternatively if you want them faster, slice the chicken breasts in half, creating thin cutlets.
- Dredge the chicken through the flour.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. In order to keep that golden color, make sure you cook on a medium heat so the butter doesn't burn.
- Fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and JUST cooked through, then remove from the pan and place on a plate to keep warm.
- Using the same butter in the skillet over medium heat, add in the shallots/onions and mushrooms. Fry until both are softened and the mushrooms have shrunk. Once this is done, add the minced garlic and fry until browned and fragrant.
- Take the Marsala and add it into the pan slowly, deglazing the pan by scraping all those tasty bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Add in the chicken stock and the heavy cream. Simmer on low heat, stirring, until the sauce reduces.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and simmer for 3-4 minutes , until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is thickened to your liking, It will not be super thick, this is a thinner cream sauce.
- Serve over angel hair pasta like so and pour yourself a glass of lovely wine to pair with it.

Notes
- You can add a pinch of thyme to the sauce if desired.
