Easy Chicken Marsala Recipe


🍗 Chicken Marsala Recipe


📝 Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 4 tbsp olive oil

  • 8 chicken tenders

  • 3/4 cup chopped onion

  • 8 oz sliced baby Bella mushrooms

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)

  • 1 cup dry Marsala wine

  • 1 cup chicken stock


👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Dredge the Chicken:
    In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, and oregano. Coat both sides of each chicken tender in the flour mixture.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. Sauté Aromatics:
    In the same skillet, add garlic and onions. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent.

  4. Add Mushrooms & Wine:
    Stir in mushrooms and cook until softened. Pour in Marsala wine and let it simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

  5. Make the Sauce:
    Add chicken stock, cooked chicken, and optional heavy cream. Let everything simmer for another 5 minutes to blend flavors.

  6. Serve:
    Plate with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a crusty piece of bread. Spoon extra sauce over top—don't let it go to waste!


💡 Tips & Notes

  • Thin the Chicken: Pound thicker chicken pieces for quicker, even cooking.

  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Especially with mushrooms—too many, and they’ll steam instead of brown.

  • Why Dredge? It helps seal in juices and adds thickness to the sauce.

  • Thicken the Sauce (Optional): Add a splash more cream or dissolve 1 tsp cornstarch in a bit of simmering liquid to thicken.
