Chicken Marsala

Yellow Rice

Broccoli

Method

Chicken Marsala

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Dredge the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Sauté the Chicken

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

  4. 4

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are browned and tender.

  5. 5

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce slightly (about 5 minutes).

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.

Yellow Rice

  1. 7

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. 8

    Simmer the Rice

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed.

Broccoli

  1. 9

    Sauté the Broccoli

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 10

    Add the Broccoli

    Add the broccoli florets, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender but still bright green.
