Notes

  • Tips:
  • Storage Instructions: Marsala chicken can be kept in the refrigerator for a day. Reheat it over low heat before serving, and if the creaminess around the chicken is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to soften it.
  • Variations:
  • Gluten-free Adaptations: use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
  • It is crucial to use fresh thyme because it will add extra flavor. 
  • When you add the Marsala, increase the heat so the alcohol evaporates, leaving a delicate cream around the chicken.
  • Cream: You can add cream if you want to make the recipe even creamier.

  • Skin-On Chicken Thighs: We recommend removing the skin, but you can keep it if you prefer. In this case, you do not need to add the flour.

  • Yellow Onion: If you prefer a stronger taste, use yellow onions instead of shallots, which have a milder flavor.

  • More Herbs: Instead of thyme, you can use marjoram, sage, or rosemary. It is better fresh so that the flavor will be more intense.
