Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or baking dish over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the hot pan and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes total.
  4. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  5. In the same pan, add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
  6. Stir in the tomato sauce, sugar, remaining salt, and pepper, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Nestle the seared chicken pieces into the sauce mixture in the baking dish.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (177°C) oven for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil, turn the chicken pieces over in the sauce, and continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes.
  11. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter.
  12. Stir the Marsala wine into the remaining sauce in the pan and pour the sauce over the chicken before serving.
