Chicken Mushroom Marsala
Description
The Chicken Mushroom Marsala recipe combines basic ingredients like chicken breasts, mushrooms, onions, and a Marsala wine sauce enriched with heavy cream. The chicken is gently tenderized and coated with seasoned flour to create a light crust when pan-fried. Mushrooms and onions are cooked in the same pan, absorbing the browned bits left by the chicken for added depth. Adding Marsala wine and reducing it concentrates the robust flavor, and stirring in cream makes the sauce smooth and rich. Reintroducing the chicken to the pan warms it through and coats it with sauce, ready to serve.
This preparation yields tender chicken with a golden exterior immersed in a creamy, earthy sauce marked by the distinctive sweet notes of Marsala wine and the savoriness of mushrooms. The dish can be served with sides like pasta or mashed potatoes to complement the sauce and balance the meal.
The method emphasizes careful temperature control for pan-frying chicken to ensure it reaches a safe internal temperature while retaining juiciness. Using the same pan for sauce preparation builds flavor, making the most of the ingredients. The recipe advises serving immediately to enjoy the texture and warmth of the dish at its best.
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breast
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
- 16 oz mushrooms cut into bite size
- 1 onion diced, small
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Filet your chicken breasts. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer.
- On a plate, season flour with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Heat a deep skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Dredge each side of chicken breast with flour. Cook chicken until golden brown on each side. Ensure the internal temperature is 165 °F.
- Using the same skillet you pan-fried your chicken in, cook the mushrooms and onion until they are browned and tender.
- Add Marsala wine and cook for a minute, or until the volume reduces by half. Stir whipping cream into the wine and bring it to a boil.
- Add the chicken back to the mix. Serve right away!
