Creating this amazing Chicken Marsala is straightforward. Follow these clear steps for delicious results:
- Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and add sliced mushrooms. Sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add Wine and Broth: Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
- Return Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Finish with Butter: Stir in butter for added richness and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of color.
These simple steps will guide you to create a Chicken Marsala that is not only delicious but also remarkably easy to prepare.
