1
Prepare the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2
Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3
Cook the Garlic
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Deglaze with Marsala
Pour in the Marsala wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5
Add Lemon Juice
Stir in the lemon juice and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6
Combine and Finish Cooking
Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and let them simmer in the sauce for about 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
7
Serve
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
