Chicken Marsala Recipe
Description
The recipe begins with seasoning and flouring chicken tenderloins before pan-frying them in a mix of butter and olive oil to a light golden crust. Sautéed minced garlic, shallots, and thinly sliced cremini mushrooms form the flavor base, cooked until soft and set aside.
Dry Marsala wine, chicken stock, and extra butter are reduced in the pan to form a rich sauce. The final dish assembles by combining the chicken with the sauce, which has a slightly thickened consistency and a balance of savory, herbal salt, and wine notes.
Chicken Marsala is a classic entree that can be served with pasta or vegetables to soak up the sauce. The use of cremini mushrooms adds earthiness and texture, while the Marsala wine adds a subtle sweetness that enhances the overall flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken tenderloin fillets
- 1 cup flour
- 1 TB salt
- 1 TB garlic powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 8-10 TB butter
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms mini portabella mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 5 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 shallot minced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 ½ cup dry Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- olive oil for pan frying
Instructions
- Mix together flour, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Set aside.
- Melt 2-3 TB butter in large skillet. Sauté garlic and shallots until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until soft. Remove from pan and set aside (can keep in oven under “warm” setting)
- Pour wine, chicken stock, and 2 TB butter into skillet and, boil until sauce is reduced by half. Time will vary, depending on the skillet. Once the sauce has finished reducing, add salt to tase. Set aside, and keep warm.
- Dry chicken fillets with paper towel. Put pieces on cutting board, cover with cling wrap, and lightly pound them to about 1/3 in. thickness. Dust each fillet with flour mixture, shaking off excess. Melt 2 TB butter and 2 TB oil in large skillet. Fry chicken fillets on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side (or just until golden brown). Repeat, working in batches until all chicken is done. Remember not to overcrowd that pan, or the chicken ends up getting steamed rather than nicely browned.
- Place chicken into serving dish or plates, or over buttered pasta (such as angel hair). Spoon mushroom mixture over chicken. Pour Marsala sauce generously over entire dish. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, and serve warm.
