Creamy Chicken Marsala
This creamy chicken marsala is an Italian-inspired dish made from chicken breast and dry Marsala wine. The chicken is braised in a Marsala mushroom reduction sauce.
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds chicken breasts, (cut the chicken breast horizontally to make 2-4 fillets, depending on the size of it).
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Creamy Marsala Sauce:
- 10 oz mushrooms
- 3 sage leaves, (chopped)
- 1½ tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoon minced shallots
- ¾ cup broth
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup dry Marsala wine
- ½ teaspoon salt, (add more according to your liking)
- 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, (equal ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- black pepper, (to taste)
- chopped fresh parsley , (to serve)
Instructions
- Put the chicken fillets side-by-side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about ¼-inch thick.
- Place flour, salt, and pepper in a zip lock bag or large bowl. Add the chicken into the bag and coat the chicken evenly with the flour.
- Heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the flour-dredge chicken fillets into the pan. Be sure to shake off the excess flour.Work in batches, cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden. Transfer the chicken into a large platter. Set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium. Use the same pan with the remaining chicken grease. Melt 2 tablespoon of butter then cook mushrooms and sage for about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and shallots, keep stirring for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the broth and wine. Simmer for a few minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Add heavy cream, dried basil, fresh thyme, and salt. Simmer gently until the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half.
- Add the chicken back into the pan, lower the heat to low and simmer for about 4-5 minutes or just until the chicken is heated and cooked through. Serve with chopped parsley and enjoy.
Notes
