How To Make Chicken Marsala
Step 1. Slice the chicken length-wise in half to make 2 pieces. Use a meat tenderizer to beat the chicken into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
Place the oil into a deep and large skillet over medium-high heat. On a plate, add the flour, salt, and pepper and whisk with a fork. One at a time, dip each chicken piece until coated and shake any excess off before adding into the hot oil.
You do not want to overcrowd, so cook a few at a time for about 3-4 minutes until fully cooked and light brown. Take the chicken out when done and transfer it to a plate and cover it with foil.
Step 2. Use the same skillet to melt some butter and put in the mushrooms and diced onion to fry for 3 minutes.
Put in 1 tbsp of flour and minced garlic and combine and cook for an additional minute. Use the spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan to get any pieces sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 3. Pour in the Marsala wine and cook for another minute before adding in the chicken broth and heavy cream.
Continue until it begins to boil and thicken. Deglaze the pot every now and then for about 8-10 minutes until you have a deepened color and thickened sauce.
Step 4. Put the chicken into the skillet and cook for another few minutes or until fully cooked through.
Plate, serve, and enjoy!
