How to make Chicken Marsala

To create thin slices of chicken, begin by cutting chicken halves in half lengthwise. If the pieces are still too thick, place plastic wrap over them and use a meat mallet to pound them until they reach a thickness of about ¼ inch (6mm).

Next, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, making sure to remove any excess flour.

In a large skillet, heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook it on both sides until it becomes browned and fully cooked. If necessary, work in batches to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Now, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook the onion and garlic in the skillet for about 2 minutes until they become tender. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until the mushrooms become tender, which typically takes around 5-7 minutes. If the skillet becomes too dry during this process, add more oil as needed.

After the mushrooms are cooked, add Marsala wine to the skillet and allow it to boil for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol. Then, add the chicken broth and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to slightly reduce. Finally, add the cream and butter, stirring until the butter is fully melted. Return the cooked chicken back into the sauce and let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes. Garnish the dish with fresh parsley.
