Simple Chicken Marsala – This fabulous chicken Marsala recipe comes from my dearest friend Regina. For a simple recipe, it tastes like you are eating in a finer restaurant. The most flavorful and beautiful looking dish. Try and enjoy!
A message from Regina: This version of Chicken Marsala came after having a conversation about food with my brother Mark who has been working in the restaurant field since he graduated from Johnston & Wales College. I have tweaked it only slightly from the notes I took so long ago. As you can see there are not many ingredients but it is jam packed with flavor.
Simple Chicken Marsala
Yields: 4-6 servings
Ingredients:
- 6 thin cut chicken cutlets
- 8 to 12-oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced thin
- 8 oz Marsala cooking wine or Marsala wine
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp butter, for rue
- butter/olive oil, for browning chicken
Directions:
- Prepare chicken cutlets. I like to cut them in half which satisfies my son’s big appetite and my daughter’s small appetite.
- Place the flour in a bowl or platter, then add in salt and pepper. Mix together.
- Heat sauté pan, adding in either butter or olive oil in order to brown the chicken. I actually used both so I can get the delicious flavor of the butter but the health benefits of the olive oil.
- Dredge damp chicken cutlets in the flour mixture then brown on both sides in the pan. Place the browned chicken on a platter in a single layer as you go. Save the left over flour mixture to use later for the rue.
- Once done browning the chicken, add the mushrooms to the sauté pan, plus 2 tbsp of butter. All liquid will be absorbed into the mushrooms, but as they cook you will see the juices come back.
- Cook the mushrooms until tender. Add in 2 tbsp of the flour mixture. The flour will absorb the liquid and cling to the mushrooms.
- Stir in the marsala wine and lemon juice slowly to prevent lumps. Let simmer for about 5 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick you can add in some water or chicken broth to thin out. Plate up over noodles or rice.
Enjoy the deliciousness!
