This chicken Marsala recipe is elegant, very easy and delicious. We will be dredging thin chicken breast in a spiced up flour, brown it and then cook it in Marsala.
Marsala is a sweet Italian wine that resembles sherry. In fact, you can substitute Marsala with sherry without a problem.
We will be adding mushrooms to this meal. It is better to use fresh mushrooms as opposed to canned. I like serving this with mashed potatoes or creamy polenta.
Serves four
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
12 mushrooms, sliced
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup flour
¼ teaspoon paprika
1½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne
¾ cup Marsala wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 TBS Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts. Cut each breast into 3 fillets. Carefully pound the fillets until they are about 1/8th inch thick.
Heat a large skillet and add 2 tablespoons butter and some olive oil.
Mix the flour, paprika, cayenne, garlic, oregano, thyme and cayenne in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Place the chicken in the butter and brown evenly on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan.
Add 2 more tablespoons butter and melt. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook the mushrooms until
browned on all sides, about 7 to 8 minutes. Scrape the brown bits from the pan while you are browning the mushrooms. Please make sure you have not burned the brown bits. If you they
burned make sure to remove them from the pan and wipe it before you add the extra butter and the mushrooms.
When the mushrooms are nice and golden add the Marsala to the pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan well. Add the chicken stock and mix well.
Return the chicken to the pan and bring the sauce to a soft boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add 1 more tablespoon butter and season with salt & pepper.
Serve the chicken with mashed potatoes, or steamed baby potatoes or creamy polenta. Enjoy!
