  • Author: Sarah
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

 

Tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich, flavorful Marsala wine sauce with savory mushrooms. This classic Italian dish is a delightful combination of umami flavors and is perfect for a comforting dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the chicken with the rich mushroom sauce poured over the top.

Notes

  • You can add a touch of cream to the sauce at the end for a creamier texture.
  • Serve the dish over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute Marsala wine with grape juice and a splash of vinegar.
