You will not believe how quick and easy it is to prepare this delicious chicken Marsala recipe. This recipe contains boneless chicken breasts, some basil, and Marsala fortified wine. This is an elegant dish for a family meal or a special occasion. Dry Marsala wine is preferred but feel free to use a sweet Marsala wine. The chicken is wonderful served with hot cooked angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti and a tossed salad or green vegetables. For extra color and flavor, add a few sliced green onions or fresh chopped Italian parsley to the skillet near the end of the cooking time. This is a dish you will make again and again.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Marsala wine
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. dried leaf basil
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
20 oz. chicken breast halves, boneless, without skin

Method

01

Place a chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently to an even thickness of about 1/4-inch.
02

Alternatively, if the chicken breasts are quite large, slice each one horizontally to make two cutlets. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
03

Combine flour, salt, pepper, and basil in a wide, shallow bowl; mix well. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
04

Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture. Arrange the chicken in the skillet and cook until lightly browned on the first side - about 2 to 3 minutes.
05

Turn chicken and add mushrooms around the chicken pieces. Cook about 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned; stir the mushrooms. Add the Marsala wine to the pan.
06

Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve this easy chicken with hot cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
