Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms is a classic Italian-American dish made with tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich Marsala wine and mushroom sauce. It’s elegant, flavorful, and perfect for a special dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 oz cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (optional for a creamier sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even thickness if needed.
  2. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken breast in the mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in Marsala wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Add chicken broth and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly. Stir in cream if using, and simmer for another 2 minutes.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, spooning sauce over the top.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.

Notes

  • Use dry Marsala wine for a less sweet, more savory flavor.
  • Substitute chicken thighs if preferred, adjusting cooking time as needed.
  • The dish pairs well with garlic bread or steamed green beans.
