Golden pan-fried chicken in a rich Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms and onions—this easy chicken Marsala is a restaurant-quality dinner made at home.

Ingredients

→ Chicken:

2 large chicken breasts, halved horizontally (to make 4 cutlets)

¼ cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp black pepper

→ Cooking Fats:

2 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp butter, divided

→ Sauce Base:

8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

¼ cup diced onion

2 tsp minced garlic

⅔ cup dry Marsala wine

¾ cup chicken broth

⅔ cup heavy cream

→ Finishing Touch:

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Pound the Chicken:
Place each halved chicken breast between parchment or plastic wrap and pound to even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Dredge the Chicken:
Combine flour, ½ tsp salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a zip-close bag. Add chicken pieces one at a time to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour.

Sear the Chicken:
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.

Sauté Veggies:
In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes until browned. Add onions and garlic, season with salt, and sauté for another 3 minutes until softened.

Deglaze and Simmer Sauce:
Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 7 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Return Chicken and Serve:
Return chicken and its juices to the pan. Simmer to heat through. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use dry Marsala wine for a more savory, less sweet sauce.

For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free flour.

Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
