This easy chicken marsala recipe is an Italian-American classic! Juicy pan-fried chicken is smothered in a marsala cream sauce. Restaurant-quality in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
3/4 cup marsala wine
1 large clove garlic minced
7 oz. cremini mushrooms sliced fairly thin
3 tbsp. butter divided
1 tbsp. olive oil
Flour for dredging
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 large chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise

Method

01

Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and trim off any remaining fat. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Coat each piece in flour.
02

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and sear it for 4 minutes/side or until golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside.
03

Meanwhile, slice the mushrooms into fairly thin pieces (or you can prep them prior to starting cooking... I like to multi-task to save time).
04

Add the remaining butter and mushrooms to the skillet and cook them for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
05

Add the minced garlic and marsala wine to the skillet and let it bubble for 2-3 minutes.
06

Add the cream to the skillet, and then add the chicken back in. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed. I added a little bit of chopped parsley to finish it off (optional).
