Summary

Chicken marsala is a classic Italian dish that I’ve been making for years for my family. I learned how to make it from my mother and I’ve also learned a few tricks from my grandmother.

I use sweet marsala wine in my chicken marsala, however, dry marsala wine is good too! But the slightly sweet caramel flavor adds a delicious touch! No matter which type of marsala you use, this technique creates the most delicious creamy marsala sauce, tender chicken! Let’s make it!

I used this sweet marsala wine and it turned out amazing!

šŸ¤” Common Questions

What can I serve this with?

You may serve this with pasta, potatoes or rice!

What is a flour paste?

I’m not sure what the official name is but my grandma taught me this trick. Whenever i’m making a pan sauce and I want to make it thicker and creamier here’s what I do; I mixed together room temperature butter and flour(equal parts) with a fork until it’s combined. Then I add it directly to my pan sauce until it reaches the creamy consistency.

Pan-seared Chicken Marsala breasts simmer in a rich brown mushroom sauce, topped with chopped fresh parsley and served in a black skillet on a light countertop.
