Main Ingredients

Method

Preparing Chicken Marsala

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess flour.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms soften and brown.

  5. 5

    Add Marsala Wine

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

Preparing Sides

  1. 7

    Make Mashed Potatoes

    Prepare mashed potatoes according to your favorite recipe, or boil peeled potatoes until tender, then mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper.

  2. 8

    Cook Asparagus

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the asparagus. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender yet crisp. Drain and drizzle with olive oil.
