easy creamy chicken marsala recipe
Prep Time:15 minutes
Cook Time:35 minutes
Total Time:37 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half horizontally (about 2 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil divided
  • 1/2 cup small diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 cups marsala cooking wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  • In a gallon sized freezer bag, mix the flour, salt and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, then seal the bag and shake to coat.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil. Working in batches, add 2 of the floured chicken pieces to the skillet.
  • Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown then remove.
  • Add the remaining oil to the skillet, then repeat the above step with the other 2 chicken pieces.
  • Add the garlic, onion and mushrooms to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have softened and have started to release their liquid.
  • Add the marsala wine, chicken stock and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  • Add chicken breasts and any accumulated juices back to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until cooked through to 165 F. This will take 7-10 minutes.
  • If you like a thicker sauce, you can remove the chicken breasts once they are cooked and continue to simmer and reduce the sauce for 5 more minutes or until it is thickened to your liking.
  • Top the chicken breasts with fresh parsley just before serving.

Notes

If you like the sauce even thicker, you can add a cornstarch slurry to the chicken marsala sauce at the end of the cooking time. Just mix 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1/2 teaspoon of cold water. Mix it into the sauce while it is still simmering.
