What is Chicken Marsala?
Marsala, in Italy, produces the wine used in this recipe. This Chicken Marsala recipe smothers chicken breasts in a delicious mushroom marsala sauce. Chicken marsala may seem fancy but this restaurant favorite is easy enough to make as a weeknight dinner!
Ingredients For Chicken Marsala
Chicken – I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can also use boneless chicken thighs. Marsala – Marsala is a fortified wine from Italy. Choose dry Marsala (not sweet Marsala) for the best flavor in this recipe. Good substitutions are Madeira or dry white wine, however, avoid ‘cooking wine’ for this dish. Sauce – This marsala sauce is thickened with a bit of flour and contains chicken broth in addition to the marsala wine. Traditionally, this sauce doesn’t contain cream, but if you’d like it a bit creamier, you can add ¼ cup or so of heavy whipping cream. Mushrooms – Any variety of mushrooms can be used; I love the earthy flavor of brown mushrooms. Use any combination, including portobellos, cremini (brown or baby bellas), or white button mushrooms!
