Creamy Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms is a rich and elegant Italian-American dish featuring pan-seared chicken breasts in a creamy mushroom and Marsala wine sauce.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  2. Season the flour with salt and pepper, then dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and sauté mushrooms until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in Marsala wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet and cook for another 5–7 minutes, or until cooked through and sauce is creamy.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a few extra minutes or add a slurry of cornstarch and water.
  • Use sweet or dry Marsala wine based on your preference; sweet will yield a richer flavor.
  • Pairs well with garlic mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.
