Description

Chicken Marsala is an Italian-American classic that delivers restaurant-quality elegance with minimal effort. Thin chicken cutlets are dredged in flour and pan-seared until golden, then bathed in a luscious sauce made from Marsala wine, chicken broth, and butter. The wine reduces into a glossy, nutty glaze that clings to the tender meat. This dish balances savory depth with a hint of sweetness, making it perfect for date nights or special family dinners. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up every drop of the delicious sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge the seasoned cutlets in flour, shaking off any excess coating.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Sear the chicken cutlets in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  6. Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  7. Add the chicken broth to the wine and bring to a simmer, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly by half.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  9. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
