Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 - 2 pounds total)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced thinly
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps:

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Pound the Chicken:

    • Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
    • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  2. Dredge the Chicken:

    • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
    • Lightly coat each chicken breast with the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.

Cook the Chicken:

  1. Heat the Pan:

    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet without overcrowding (you may need to do this in batches).
    • Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
    • Once done, transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and cover them with foil to keep warm.

Prepare the Sauce:

  1. Sauté the Mushrooms:

    • In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms.
    • Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and golden brown.
  2. Add Garlic:

    • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Deglaze with Marsala Wine:

    • Pour the Marsala wine into the pan, using a spatula to scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom.
    • Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Add Chicken Broth:

    • Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Incorporate Butter:

    • Stir in the butter until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.

Combine and Serve:

  1. Return Chicken to the Pan:

    • Place the cooked chicken breasts back into the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the top.
    • Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it's heated through.
  2. Garnish and Serve:

    • Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken for a fresh touch.
    • Serve the Chicken Marsala immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.

Enjoy your healthy Chicken Marsala!
