This is a fast and easy Chicken Marsala recipe from delish.com ~ I've made it several times, including for company [who loved it too] ~ I usually serve it with steamed or roasted asparagus and rice or orzo ~ hope you/try enjoy it! ~ Sooz
Skillet Chicken with Mushroom-Marsala Sauce
4 medium [1-1/4 lbs] skinless, boneless chicken breast halves salt and pepper 1 tbsp olive oil 1 pkg [10oz] crimini mushrooms 1 large shallot, finely chopped 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/2 cup Marsala wine 2 tbsps chopped fresh parsley
Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound with meat mallet or rolling pin to an even [maybe 1/2"] thickness. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper.
In nonstick 12" skillet, heat oil over medium high heat til hot. Add chicken and cook 6-7 minutes, or til browned on both sides and chicken loses pink color thruout, turning over once. Transfer chicken to platter; cover with foil to keep warm.
Add mushrooms, shallot, and 1/4 tsp salt to skillet. Cook 3 minutes or until mushrooms are browned, stirring frequently. Add chicken broth, Marsala wine, and any juices from chicken on platter. Cook 4 minutes to reduce sauce by half, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley. Serve sauce with chicken.
Notes: ~ Don't need to pound out chicken if pieces are close in size; might have to adjust cooking time if much thinner or much thicker. ~ If chicken gets too cool, put it back into sauce during last minute or so of sauce cooking time. ~ I tend to improvise: when I don't have a shallot, I use half of a smallish red onion with good results. ~ Can use other mushrooms or a combination of mushrooms. ~ I've also used this technique and sauce on boneless pork chops ~ excellent!
