Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup shallot, minced
1 lb cremini mushroom, trimmed and thinly sliced
2 cups dry Marsala wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon lemon juice
fresh parsley, for serving
1 lb Cooked pasta, potatoes, or rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise, then cut the larger, thicker half again horizontally, creating 3 equally thick cutlets. Place the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a wide, shallow dish and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking gently to remove any excess flour, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side, another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • To the same, now empt pan with leftover oil and butter, add the garlic, shallots, and cremini mushrooms, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan until the mushrooms are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine and scrape all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, and allow mixture to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has reduced by half.
  • Turn off the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cold butter and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce, and simmer for 5 more minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta, potatoes, or rice.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any delays.
  • Use a good quality chicken: The quality of your chicken will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for chicken that is fresh and free of any blemishes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are searing the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is golden brown: Sear the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on all sides. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine: The type of Marsala wine you use will also make a big difference in the final dish. Look for a Marsala wine that is dry and has a nutty flavor.
  • Reduce the sauce until it is thick and syrupy: After you have added the Marsala wine and chicken broth, let the sauce simmer until it has reduced by about half. This will help to concentrate the flavors and create a delicious sauce.
  • Serve the chicken Marsala over pasta or rice: Chicken Marsala is traditionally served over pasta or rice. You can also serve it with vegetables or a salad.
