Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich, savory Marsala wine and mushroom sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts lightly in the flour mixture.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; remove and set aside.
  5. Add mushrooms to the same skillet and sauté until tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  7. Stir in heavy cream if using for a creamier sauce.
  8. Return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Use dry Marsala wine for a more savory flavor or sweet Marsala for a richer, sweeter sauce.
  • For added depth, use a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
