Bacon Chicken Marsala with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, cook 8 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Add the dredged chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of Marsala wine and 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring the sauce back to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Serve the Bacon Chicken Marsala with Creamy Mushroom Sauce hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
