Tasty and Easy Chicken Marsala
I have tried this meal at different restaurants but I did not know how to make it. The good thing about it, is that this is an easy, elegant and exquisite dish that you can prepare for a special occasion or just if you want to surprise your family.
Ingredients
- 2 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour or corn starch for gluten-free
- up to 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil
- 8 ounces container of mushroom, sliced and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup sherry or dry white wine
- Optional: 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Garnish with chopped parsley or oregano
Directions:
Split each chicken breast in the middle to make 2 pieces. Place plastic wrap over them and pound each one flat using a meat tenderizer/mallet until they are about a quarter inch thick. Season a good amount of salt and pepper on both sides of each piece. Place some flour on a plate and dredge each piece of chicken in it.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat and when the oil is hot fry each piece of chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown (this may require you to do this in 2 batches). Remove chicken and place them on your serving platter covering them with foil.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter and mushrooms. Saute mushrooms for 4-5 minutes making sure to season them with salt and pepper lightly. Add marsala wine, sherry, cream, and chicken stock allowing the liquid to reduce slightly – approx. 3 minutes. Pour mushrooms and sauce over chicken and serve.
