chicken marsala recipe

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for Chicken Marsala:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons butter, divided
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup Marsala wine
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Season them with salt and pepper.
2. In a shallow dish, add the flour and dredge each chicken breast in the flour until evenly coated, shaking off any excess.
3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the mixture simmer until it reduces by about half, about 5 minutes.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
8. Serve the chicken Marsala hot, spooning the sauce over the chicken. It pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
