Chicken Marsala
Golden pan-seared chicken cutlets in a savory mushroom and Marsala wine sauce, an Italian-American restaurant classic.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make thin cutlets. Pound gently to an even thickness.
-
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the cutlets, shaking off the excess.
-
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
-
Add the remaining butter, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour in the Marsala wine and broth, scraping up the browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Stir in the cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer 2 minutes, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley.
