What is chicken marsala?
A variation of the traditional Italian Scaloppine, this Americanized Marsala version is completely addictive. It’s no wonder it’s one of the most ordered chicken dishes in restaurants!
Made with golden, crispy, pan-fried chicken, a mushroom-filled creamy Marsala wine sauce and a good kick of garlic, this Chicken Marsala recipe is next-level…..
Tips and thoughts:
You’re going to start with thin thigh fillets. If you choose breasts….a faster prep-time, cut your chicken breasts in half horizontally to make fillets. Quicker and easier than pounding them thin with a meat mallet and yields the same results.
I use a combination of oil and butter to fry the chicken for the best golden browned results and delicious flavor.
Cook the sauce in the same pan as the chicken. Don’t get rid of any chicken bits from the pan as they add tons of flavor into the sauce!
Scrape them up while the mushrooms are releasing their liquid!
Best marsala wine to use:
Marsala wine is a fortified wine from Sicily with a deep flavor and is used in this sauce to create a caramelized rich flavor.
When making savory dishes like Chicken Marsala, dry Marsala is the best option. Sweet Marsala will be higher in carbs!
You can also find Marsala cooking wine in the grocery store with the vinegars.
The flavor will not be as rich and authentic as using traditional Sicilian marsala… But it will still taste delicious.
