Description
Creamy Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms is a comforting, restaurant-style dish made right at home. Golden seared chicken cutlets are simmered in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce that’s full of flavor and perfect for serving over pasta or mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken cutlets (about 1.5 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add mushrooms and cook until browned and tender.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let it simmer and reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and simmer gently until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Use thin chicken cutlets for faster, even cooking.
- Let the sauce simmer gently to avoid curdling the cream.
- For deeper flavor, sauté the mushrooms until they are deeply golden.
- This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or pasta.
