Creamy Chicken Marsala
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- In a shallow dish, mix together 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the 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 mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of Marsala wine and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add 1 cup of chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the creamy Chicken Marsala hot, with your choice of side dish. Enjoy!
