Savory Marsala Chicken Delight Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts until they are of even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Dredge the chicken in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
-
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
-
Prepare the Marsala Sauce:
- Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, dried thyme, and dried rosemary to the skillet. Stir to combine.
-
Simmer the Chicken:
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of the chicken.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
-
Serve:
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the Savory Marsala Chicken Delight over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
- Pair with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Additional Tips:
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stir it into the sauce during the simmering step.
- For a healthier option, consider using low-sodium chicken broth and light cream or half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Enjoy your delicious and flavorful Savory Marsala Chicken Delight!
