Chicken Marsala Recipe is a beloved Italian-American dish made with lightly floured chicken breasts sautéed to golden perfection and simmered in a savory Marsala wine and mushroom sauce. It’s a restaurant-style meal you can easily make at home.
Ingredients for this Chicken Marsala Recipe
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for coating)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (pounded to ¼ inch thick)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup Marsala wine
- ¼ cup cooking sherry
Directions
- Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
- Sauté mushrooms: In the same pan, add remaining butter and oil. Sauté mushrooms for about 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Deglaze and simmer: Pour in the Marsala wine and cooking sherry. Stir and scrape up browned bits, then simmer for 5 minutes.
- Combine and finish: Return chicken to the pan, reduce heat, and simmer for another 5 minutes to let the sauce thicken and flavors combine.
- Serve: Spoon the sauce and mushrooms over the chicken. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
