Ingredients Needed:

• 680g boneless skinless chicken breasts,

• ¾ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
• 227g pre-sliced Bella
• 3 tbsp finely chopped shallots
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 160ml chicken broth
• 160ml dry Marsala wine
• 160ml heavy cream
• 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley (optional, for serving)

How To Make Marsala Chicken Recipe?

1. Coat the Chicken: Mix the flour, salt, and pepper in a bag. Add chicken and shake to coat. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil and 2 tbsp butter in a pan. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Cook the Veggies: In the same pan, melt the rest of the butter. Add mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add shallots, garlic, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes more.
4. Make the Sauce: Add chicken broth, Marsala wine, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Finish the Chicken: Add chicken back to the pan and simmer for 2-3 minutes until hot and coated in the sauce.
6. Serve: Sprinkle with parsley (optional) and serve.

Recipe Tips:

• Use thin, evenly pounded chicken breasts: This helps the chicken cook evenly and quickly, ensuring it remains tender and juicy.
• Use a stainless steel pan: For the best browning, a stainless steel pan allows the chicken to get a golden crust. Nonstick pans won’t give you the same result.
• Let the chicken rest: After cooking, let the chicken sit for a few minutes to lock in its juices before serving.
• Adjust the sauce consistency: If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer a little longer to thicken. If it’s too thick, add a bit more chicken broth or wine.
• Fresh thyme is key: Fresh thyme adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the dish. If using dried thyme, use about one-third of the amount.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the leftover chicken to room temperature and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the chicken, then store it in a container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Heat the chicken and sauce in a pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
