Recipe
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich, savory Marsala wine sauce. This recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor in the comfort of your own kitchen. Perfect for a cozy dinner or entertaining guests, it’s both elegant and easy to prepare.
To make Chicken Marsala, you’ll need chicken breasts, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, olive oil, unsalted butter, cremini mushrooms, garlic, Marsala wine, chicken broth, and fresh parsley.
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, then set aside. In the same skillet, sauté sliced mushrooms until tender, then add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Deglaze the pan with Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add chicken broth and let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it, and cook until heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
For best results, use dry Marsala wine for a balanced flavor. If unavailable, dry sherry or white wine can be substituted. Serve this dish with mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables to complement the rich sauce.

What To Serve With It
Ever wondered what sides can turn your Chicken Marsala into a complete, satisfying meal? I love pairing it with creamy mashed potatoes—they soak up the rich Marsala sauce perfectly.
If I’m feeling lighter, I’ll go for fluffy steamed rice or roasted veggies like asparagus or carrots, which add a nice crunch. A fresh green salad with a zesty vinaigrette balances the meal beautifully.
And who can resist warm garlic bread? It’s a crowd-pleaser every time.
Don’t forget a glass of white wine or sparkling water with lemon to round it all out. Trust me, these combos never disappoint!
