Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Shallots and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add butter. Once melted, add chopped shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5-6 minutes.

Cooking the Sauce

  1. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the Marsala wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  3. 6

    Return Chicken to Skillet

    Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook on low heat for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken Marsala before serving.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the chicken Marsala with the sauce spooned over the top. It pairs well with pasta or rice.
