Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 medium boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 8 ounces sliced cremini, shiitake, or mixed wild mushrooms (increase to up to 16 ounces if you are a mushroom lover)
  • ½ cup dry Marsala wine (not cooking wine) or more chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge in flour.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add remaining oil and butter. Sauté shallot, garlic, and mushrooms until softened. Add Marsala wine, vinegar, chicken broth, thyme, and remaining salt. Simmer until sauce thickens.
  4. Finish the Dish: Return chicken to skillet. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through. Serve hot with sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a little flour with water and whisk it into the sauce to thicken.
  • You can serve Chicken Marsala over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a heartier meal.
