Equipment
- Paper towels
- large skillet
- wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts or veal cutlets
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups sliced button mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine Holland House or your preferred brand
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- First, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This step ensures a good sear. Next, season them lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dust them with flour, which helps in creating a crisp, golden crust when they cook.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is sizzling, add the chicken breasts. Cook them for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms
- In the same skillet, add the sliced button mushrooms. They will absorb the leftover butter and chicken juices. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they’re tender and lightly browned.
Step 4: Create the Sauce
- Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan – these are full of flavor! Allow the mixture to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 5: Combine and Finish
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon some of the sauce over the top, ensuring they’re well-coated. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and dried rosemary over the chicken. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Finally, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish. Serve hot, pairing it with one of the recommended sides for a complete meal.
Notes
- Pound the Chicken: For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking.
- Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese will make a noticeable difference.
- Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth. If too thin, let it simmer a bit longer.
- Keep Warm: If you’re not serving immediately, keep the chicken warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you prepare other parts of the meal.
- Deglaze Properly: Always deglaze the skillet well when you add the Marsala wine and chicken broth to capture all the flavors.
