Easy restaurant-style Chicken Marsala made at home with juicy pan-fried chicken cutlets topped with a creamy mushroom and marsala wine sauce. A comforting Italian classic ready in 30 minutes.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast (2 large) or chicken tenders
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz brown button mushrooms, halved or sliced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup dry marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 cutlets. Pound between plastic wrap to 1/3″ thickness. Season with salt and pepper, dredge in flour.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan. Sauté chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Tent with foil and set aside.
  3. Sauté mushrooms in pan until liquid evaporates and mushrooms are golden (5 min). Add onion powder and garlic, sauté 30 seconds.
  4. Add marsala wine, scrape pan, reduce 4–5 minutes. Add chicken stock and slowly stir in heavy cream. Simmer 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season to taste.
  5. Return chicken to pan, sprinkle parsley, spoon sauce over chicken, heat 2 minutes until heated through and sauce thickens to desired consistency.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken cutlets are even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Use dry marsala wine, not sweet.
  • Sauce will thicken more as it cools; adjust consistency if needed.
