When I go to an Italian restaurant I love trying chicken Marsala. In researching recipes I found that some recipes have a creamy sauce but I’ve always had a thin sauce. I also saw recipes called for dry Marsala wine or sweet Marsala wine. This recipe uses sweet Marsala wine and a thin sauce.

Ingredients

25 minutes
4-6 servings
  1. 1.5 lbsChicken breasts, boneless, skinless
  2. 1 lbcooked angel hair pasta
  3. Oil and butter for cooking chicken
  4. 1/2 cupFlour for dredging seasoned with salt and pepper
  5. 1large Shallot finely diced
  6. 8 ozmushrooms sliced (I used a combination of cremini and button)
  7. 2Garlic cloves minced
  8. 1 cupMarsala wine
  9. 1 cupChicken stock
  10. 1 TbspHeavy cream
  11. 1 tspdried Thyme
  12. 2 Tbspfresh Parsley chopped
  13. 4 TbspButter
  14. Garnish; red pepper flakes and/or diced green onions

Cooking Instructions

25 minutes
  1. 1

    Cut chicken breasts so they are about 1/4” thick. Pat dry the chicken. Dredge through the seasoned flour and shake off excess flour. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet on medium heat. When hot cook the chicken in batches. If needed add more oil and butter. Remove cooked chicken to a serving platter.

  2. 2

    If needed add some more oil and butter. Add shallots to the skillet the chicken was cooked in. Cook 1 minute. Add mushrooms, cover the skillet and cook until mushrooms are done. About 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add Marsala wine and bring to a low boil for 5 minutes. You want to reduce liquid volume by half. Add chicken stock, thyme, parsley, and heavy cream. Bring to a low boil for 5 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce. Turn off heat and add butter and stir in until melted. Taste sauce and make adjustments if needed.

  4. 4

    Pour mushrooms and sauce over the chicken on the serving plate. To serve plate some pasta, ladle some sauce over the pasta and place chicken on top of the pasta and cover with mushrooms and sauce. Garnish with red pepper flakes and or green onions. Enjoy.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
