Chicken Marsala Recipe

Chicken recipes are extremely popular in the home kitchen. Today we're making chicken marsala, one of the most popular Italian recipes made with wine.

This simple chicken marsala recipe calls for marsala wine, sherry wine and fresh mushrooms. When choosing fresh mushrooms for your chicken marsala recipes, look for tightly closed caps that don't show any gills.

When cooking with wine, don't spend a lot of money on your cooking wines. But on the flip side, don't buy something that you wouldn't drink straight.

This is what you'll need to prepare this easy recipe for chicken marsala:

Chicken Marsala

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to about 1/4-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
8-12 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup marsala wine
1/4 cup sherry wine

First, pound the thawed chicken breast to about 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.

Next, in a 13x9 casserole dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper and oregano and mix well.

Coat chicken breasts on both sides in flour mixture. Next, heat 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 stick butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted, add the chicken and fry each side until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.

For the chicken marsala sauce, add sliced mushrooms to skillet and pour the wines over the top. Simmer 10-15 minutes, covered, until chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked brown rice and top with grilled asparagus, if desired.

We hope you find this the best chicken marsala you've tried!

chef im from the philippines and i wanted to ask if was is a good alternative for sherry and marsala wine??

[ChefTips]

@DSHAPify Sorry, I'm not sure what your question is. Are you wondering if you can use sherry instead of marsala? If so, I wouldn't recommend it since marsala is the key ingredient in this dish. Hope you enjoy it!

So the sauce and mushrooms were really good. The problem was the chicken breast. I just bought them tonight, then sliced them so they were about 1/4" thick, then pounded out the areas that were still a little thick. Dredged them in flour, salt, and pepper, then browned them for about 3 minutes on either side, then finished cooking in the sauce for about 15 minutes. The chicken, while tender, had a weird stringy texture. Where did I go wrong? Was it subpar meat or did I undercook it?

@EmpireX1020 no you didnt do anything wronge, it was the chicken. older chickens have stringy meat, you want the younger chickens with tender meat.. i dont know how you tell that, ( i guess buy small chickens) but older chickens have stringy meat, usually used for stews/soups only
