Chicken Marsala, what a lovely Italian dish. It is quick and easy to make for your family and for company. This Italian-American dish is thought of as a classic Italian restaurant dish, but it is really easy to make at home.
Traditionally, Marsala was served as a drinking wine between the first and second course to cleanse the palate, but now Marsala is used more as a cooking wine. Marsala wine has notes of caramelized, nutty flavors.
Well, Lets Get Cooking!!!
What we will need
- 4 chicken breasts
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup flour
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 small shallots chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- chopped parsley
Putting it all together
- Cover the chicken breasts with a cling wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are no thicker than 1/2 inch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides and dredge in flour.
- Fry in olive oil until golden over medium-high heat for approximately 5 minutes. Do not over cook, the chicken breasts will be thin. Remove to a separate plate and set aside.
- Add chopped shallots and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, then add sliced mushrooms, salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes, then add 1 Tbsp of cornstarch, stir and cook for a minute longer, then add marsala wine and turn the heat up to medium, add chicken stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and return the chicken to the pan, let it heat through in the sauce, simmer for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken to a desired consistency.
- Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.
Can be served over rice or pasta. Also, asparagus, baked potato or green beans make a nice side dish.
