Chicken recipes are extremely popular in the home kitchen. Today we’re making chicken marsala, one of the most popular Italian recipes made with wine.
This simple chicken marsala recipe calls for marsala wine, sherry wine and fresh mushrooms. When choosing fresh mushrooms for your chicken marsala recipes, look for tightly closed caps that don’t show any gills.
When cooking with wine, don’t spend a lot of money on your cooking wines. But on the flip side, don’t buy something that you wouldn’t drink straight.
This is what you’ll need to prepare this easy recipe for chicken marsala:
Chicken Marsala
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to about 1/4-inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
8-12 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup marsala wine
1/4 cup sherry wine
First, pound the thawed chicken breast to about 1/4 inch thickness between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Next, in a 13×9 casserole dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper and oregano and mix well.
Coat chicken breasts on both sides in flour mixture. Next, heat 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/2 stick butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted, add the chicken and fry each side until browned, about 3 minutes on each side.
For the chicken marsala sauce, add sliced mushrooms to skillet and pour the wines over the top. Simmer 10-15 minutes, covered, until chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked brown rice and top with grilled asparagus, if desired.
We hope you find this the best chicken marsala you’ve tried!

Instead of using olive oil and butter, can we just use clarified butter?

When you’re cooking the chicken, would it still work if you just put in the oil? The oil and the butter combined just seems to be a bit too much fat.

This video was one of our earliest. The quality all around is not very good. Our editing program was very limited on free music to use. Pick apart the recipe all you want. I try and show the home cook easy, good tasting recipes. With you cooking background, you should know that there are many ways to do things in the kitchen. Since you have a youtube channel, maybe you can post a better video, and recipe on this. Would love to see that happen….

From my experience as a chef, I doubt this guy is a real chef. I can find several faults with this method. Also, there wasn’t any sound except for the cheesy elevator music….. if I could actually hear what he’s saying, my opinion might be different.

Hi. Maybe you had your pan too hot. I have my flame on med/high for just one minute before I add the oil and butter. Also, before you add all of the butter, try adding just a dab to test the pan temperature. That way you won’t burn ALL of the butter. Hope this helps. =]

I tried making this today but I failed because when I put in the butter with olive oil, it turned brown. I didn’t know butter could burn.. I want to try again but I dont understand why mine doesn’t look like yours when I do it.
