A classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken cutlets in a rich, savory Marsala wine and mushroom sauce. This recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor for an impressive weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total), cut in half horizontally and pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in Marsala wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Return chicken cutlets to the skillet and spoon sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality Marsala wine. Sweet Marsala will result in a sweeter sauce, while dry Marsala will yield a more savory sauce.
  • Ensure your mushrooms are well-browned before adding the liquids to develop their full flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
