Description
A classic Italian-American dish featuring chicken, mushrooms, and a rich Marsala wine sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast (2 large) or chicken tenders
- 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz brown button mushrooms, halved or thickly sliced if very large
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 cup chicken stock, reduced-sodium
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 even cutlets. Place between plastic wrap and pound until 1/3″ thick. Season chicken with salt and pepper, dredge in flour, and set aside.
- Heat a large non-reactive, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once hot, add dredged chicken and sauté until golden and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165˚F. Set chicken aside and tent with foil.
- Add more oil if needed along with mushrooms and sauté until mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion powder and minced garlic, sauté for another 30 seconds.
- Add Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan. Increase heat and cook until mostly reduced, about 4-5 minutes. Then add chicken stock and while stirring, add heavy cream in a steady stream. Lower heat to simmer and continue to reduce sauce for another 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season sauce with salt to taste.
- Return chicken to the pan and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Spoon sauce over chicken and keep on heat until heated through and sauce thickens to desired consistency, about 2 minutes.
Notes
- The sauce thickens more as it cools.
- Use a thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked properly.
- Serve with pasta or crusty bread for a complete meal.
