Creamy Chicken Marsala
Description
This dish begins by cooking seasoned thin chicken breast slices in olive oil until lightly browned and fully cooked. The mushrooms are quickly sautéed and then deglazed with Marsala wine, simmering briefly to evaporate alcohol and concentrate flavor. Adding chicken broth, heavy cream, ground mustard, and garlic powder creates a smooth sauce which simmers until it thickens.
Returning the chicken to the sauce allows it to soak up the creamy Marsala cream, balancing earthiness from mushrooms with a mildly sweet and buttery texture. The sauce is both rich and nuanced, complemented by fresh parsley garnish.
This meal pairs well with simple sides like mashed potatoes or pasta. The silky sauce and tender chicken make it suitable for a comforting dinner.
Variations can include substituting Marsala wine if unavailable, while ensuring the sauce reduces enough to thicken properly enhances the dish.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast thinly sliced or cut in half, boneless, skinless
- salt to season
- black pepper to season
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups mushroom sliced
- 1/2 cup marsala wine or substitute
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- parsley chopped, fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the chicken and lightly season with salt and pepper. Cook until lightly brown and cooked throughout. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté the mushrooms for 1-2 minutes. Add marsala wine and bring to a boil over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes. This allows the alcohol to burn out. Add the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, ground mustard, and garlic powder.
- Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Place the cooked chicken back in the sauce and continue to simmer for about 1-2 minutes.
