Chicken Marsala
Chicken Marsala
If you need a nice, fancy, date night Italian dish to cook, this is the perfect recipe! It is flavorful and easy to make. You can pair it with any carb such as pasta or mashed potatoes with veggies to have a complete meal. The sauce is made with Marsala wine which is a dry and sweet wine which has a 15-20% alcohol content but don’t worry, all of the alcohol will cook out of the sauce. The wine creates a nutty and rich caramelized sauce for the chicken. For this recipe I used boneless, skinless chicken breast but you could use chicken thighs or pork cutlets. Any of these proteins will work perfectly. Split the chicken breast in half and use a meat tenderizer to pound them and make them as thin as possible.
Season the chicken breast with 1 tbsp cajun seasoning and 1 tbsp onion powder.
Add 2-3 cups of flour in a separate bowl and season with 1 tbsp of cajun seasoning, 1 tbsp garlic salt, 1 tsp black pepper and 1 tsp paprika. Fully coat each chicken breast in the flour.
In a skillet, add 3 tbsps of butter and 1 tbsp olive oil. Once melted, pan fry the chicken breast until golden brown on each side.
Once the chicken has browned, remove the chicken from pan and set aside. Add 1 tbsp of butter, 1 cup of mushrooms and 1 tsp of minced garlic to the pan.
Add 1 cup of Marsala Wine, 1 cup of chicken stock, 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce and 1 tsp of fresh parsley.
Add the chicken breast to the pot and cover.
Cook 15-20 minutes on Medium heat or until the sauce thickens.
Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Service with mashed potatoes or pasta. ENJOY!
