A restaurant-quality, mouthwatering blend of seasoned and battered chicken, simmered with a rich and creamy sauce. This easy chicken Marsala recipe makes for the perfect dinner when you’re craving comfort food and a little sophistication. Ready in 35 minutes.
Season and cook chicken. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken with oregano, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour then add to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside, tent with foil to keep warm.
Cook mushrooms. To the same skillet, reduce the heat to low then add the butter and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are softened about 5 minutes then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Simmer sauce. Turn the heat up to medium high and add the Marsala. Cook until almost evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
Make sauce. Reduce the heat slightly then add the heavy cream. Stir to combine and cook until slightly thickened, about two minutes.
Combine and serve. Add the chicken back to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Remove from heat and serve.
Notes
You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe.
For best results, tenderize chicken before cooking by covering with plastic wrap, placing on a cutting board and pounding flat to a consistent thickness.
You can also use different variations of mushrooms if preferred.
Careful not to use a sweet Marsala wine, you must use dry or it will change the flavor of the entire dish.
