Chicken Marsala
One of our mom’s favorite dishes is chicken marsala so whenever we’d go out for Italian food we always got it. The best part is when they pour the mushroom sauce all over the pasta so that’s exactly how we enjoyed this recipe. Hope it brings comfort to you and your home :)
Watch us make it here.
ingredients:
4-6 thin chicken breasts, if not thin enough pound with a mallet
1/3 cup flour
Two cartons of baby bella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
You can also buy pre-sliced mushrooms
5 fresh thyme sprigs, leaves removed from stems
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 shallots, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup Marsala sauce
2/3-1 cup cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
Grated parmesan reggiano
Italian parsley for topping
Angel hair pasta, optional but suggested
Salt & pepper
Recipe:
Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides, make sure they are super thin, then coat in flour on both sides
Heat 2 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan and sear chicken on both sides on medium high heat, 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown
Once the chicken is removed, add the remaining tbsp of butter and oil and saute shallot for 2 minutes and add mushrooms to cook off the moisture (don’t season yet), this will take maybe 10 minutes
Once the mushrooms are cooked down, add garlic and thyme and cook for 2 minutes
Pour over marsala wine and let reduce slightly then add chicken broth and chicken back in (juices and all) - cover for a few minutes to simmer
Bring down heat and finish with heavy cream and lots of grated parm
Serve over angel hair pasta and make sure to coat the pasta in the mushroom sauce and place chicken on top - finish with fresh parsley for serving
