Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is both savory and comforting. Here is a recipe for a delicious chicken Marsala:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season them with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium-high heat. When the butter has stopped foaming, add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Add the Marsala wine and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook until it has reduced by half. Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the chicken is done, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with a side of pasta or vegetables, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious chicken Marsala!

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is made with chicken breasts that are coated in flour, sautéed, and then simmered in a Marsala wine sauce. The sauce is made with mushrooms, shallots, garlic, and herbs, and it is thickened with heavy cream. Chicken Marsala is typically served over pasta or rice, and it is often garnished with parsley.

To make chicken Marsala, you will need the following ingredients:
