Chicken Marsala
Description
This Chicken Marsala recipe starts with boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced and butterflied into thinner pieces. The chicken is coated in a seasoned flour mixture containing kosher salt and coarse black pepper to create a slight crust when cooked. The chicken is sautéed in a mix of unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown.
After removing the chicken, sliced mushrooms are cooked in the same pan to develop a browned, savory base. The chicken is returned and simmered with a combination of chicken stock and Marsala wine for about ten minutes. This simmering melds the flavors and tenderizes the chicken further while reducing the sauce to a silky consistency. The resulting dish balances buttery, earthy mushroom flavors with the characteristic sweet and slightly nutty notes of Marsala wine.
Chicken Marsala is often served on its own or accompanied by sides that complement its rich sauce, such as mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables. The sauce can be spooned over the chicken and sides for added flavor.
