Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Then, lightly dredge each piece in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are browned and tender. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add the Wine

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it. Allow the wine to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly.

  3. 5

    Combine with Broth

    Add the chicken broth to the skillet, stir well, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for another 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Return Chicken to Skillet

    Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet with the sauce. Let them simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors.

  2. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until melted. This will add richness to the sauce.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Marsala over pasta, rice, or with a side of vegetables.
