directions

  • Pound breasts thin between saran wrap using a meat mallet (or hammer.).
  • In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour and spices.
  • Dredge the chicken breasts, shaking to remove any excess.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the pan and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and have given off their liquid.
  • Add the Marsala wine and cream sherry and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • While the wine reduces, mix the half and half and corn starch to make a slurry.
  • When the wine has reduced by half, lower the heat to medium, add the chicken stock and slurry, and return the chicken breasts to the pan.
  • Cook until the breasts are cooked through and the sauce has thickened (about 5 minutes).
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.

  1. I've been on a search for a really good chicken marsala recipe for years and this one is the absolute best I've found!
     
  2. Made half a recipe and was rich and good. Will not use the cornstarch next time as it was thicker than I prefer. Served over gnocchi with fresh Italian bread.
     
  3. We really liked it. I could not find beau monde seasoning but it seems to have turned out fine anyway. I cut the chicken into smaller pieces too which is just personal preference. Lots of sauce, which we really liked. Thank you

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a SAHM who loves to cook for my small family! I have a 14 month old daughter, a wonderful husband, a seven year-old Keeshond and a cat named Rex Manly. I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
