How to Make Chicken Marsala

posted in Main Dishes by Kathy Maister
Difficulty:

Chicken Marsala is the name given to chicken cutlets topped with a gravy made from Marsala wine (which comes from Italy.) This recipe is also chock full of mushrooms! I used a combination of Shitake mushrooms….

…and Baby Bella mushrooms.

For the Marsala sauce you will need:

Start by reviewing my video on how to make Chicken Cutlets.

As you’ll see on the video, boneless chicken breasts need to be first coated in flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs.

Once you have finished coating the chicken, be sure to THROW AWAY any leftover flour, egg, and bread crumbs. Raw chicken is filled with bacteria which makes the leftovers unusable.

While the chicken is cooking, measure out all the remaining ingredients.

When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and put it on a dish. Cover the dish with tin foil to keep the chicken warm.

Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter in the same pan you cooked the chicken in.

Add the garlic….

…and the mushrooms, and cook for 1 minute over medium heat.

Stir in 2 Tablespoons of flour and cook for another 30 seconds.

Add 3/4 cup of chicken stock

…and 1/2 cup of Marsala.

Stir until thickened and…

…continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.

Add some salt and pepper to taste and pour the sauce over the cooked chicken.

Enjoy!

This looks so good.  Learned how to do my cutlets by watching your video in the past.  However, during the week when I don't have much time I  make chicken marsala simply by dredging in flour and skip the bread crumbs...less calories too.

Hi Terri, great tip!  I too sometimes just dredge the chicken in just flour and it turns out light and crispy!

Hello Kathy,

Is there any alternative for Marsala? I leave here in Manila, Philippines and I didn't notice yet if we have that kind of wine here.

Hope to here from you soon.

Thank you very much.

Hi IhNo, You could try Madeira or a sweet sherry but keep in mind that it would then not be Chicken Marsala!
