Description

A rich and flavorful Italian main course featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a creamy mushroom Marsala wine sauce. This elegant yet easy-to-prepare dish combines sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and the distinctive sweetness of Marsala wine to create a delicious sauce perfect for serving over pasta or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts

Mushroom Marsala Sauce

  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry then season evenly with salt and black pepper to ensure a flavorful base for the dish.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté the mushrooms: In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and cook over medium heat until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté briefly for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Deglaze with Marsala wine: Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly and concentrate the flavor.
  6. Add cream and return chicken: Stir in the cream and return the chicken breasts to the pan. Spoon some sauce over the chicken to coat it.
  7. Simmer until done: Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the chicken to finish cooking through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  8. Serve: Serve the creamy chicken Marsala warm, spooning extra sauce over the top. It pairs beautifully with pasta or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Use cooking Marsala wine if available as it is designed for culinary purposes.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
