Chicken Marsala

Fettuccine Alfredo (optional)

Sauteed Vegetables (optional)

Method

Chicken Marsala

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Wine and Broth

    Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Stir well to combine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Fettuccine Alfredo (optional)

  1. 6

    Cook the Fettuccine

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Make the Alfredo Sauce

    In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce until well coated. Serve alongside the Chicken Marsala.

Sauteed Vegetables (optional)

  1. 9

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 10

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 11

    Serve

    Serve the sautéed vegetables as a side dish with the Chicken Marsala.
