Easy & Elegant Chicken Marsala

Easy & Elegant Chicken Marsala

I Love,  love,  LOVE this recipe for classic and elegant Chicken Marsala and I’m excited to share it with you. It’s really easy to prepare but you will need to get a bottle of Marsala wine from the store. I promise you’ll use the Marsala to make this many times! And don’t worry, the alcohol will all burn off.

My favorite thing about this recipe, other than the wonderful way your house smells when it’s cooking, is how easy it is to prepare. Easy, elegant and deeply flavorful, my kind of meal!

Marsala is a fortified wine similar to sherry or Madeira. It is not red or white or pink but golden brown and it looks like strong iced tea. It has a flavor sometimes described as “nutty,” and is a key ingredient in many classic Italian dishes like chicken or veal marsala.

This is traditionally served over pasta. That’s how I do it and I add a nice green salad (with a homemade vinaigrette)  and a veggie like green beans or asparagus. But if you’re trying to keep the pasta consumption to a minimum, you could serve this with some steamed quinoa or wild rice or even mashed potatoes.

Enjoy!

 Easy & Elegant Chicken Marsala

You want to pound your chicken breasts nice and thin. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound with. I put the breasts between 2 sheets of Saran wrap.

Author: Kate Battistelli
Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: Italian
Prep time:  15 mins
Cook time:  15 mins
Total time:  30 mins
Serves: serves 4
 
Ingredients
  • 2 (6-8 ounce) boneless, skinless organic chicken breasts sliced in half and pounded thin
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cups sliced, fresh mushrooms
  • ¾ cup Marsala wine
  • ¼ cup capers (optional)
  • 1 cup organic chicken stock
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Fresh, chopped Italian parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour. Tap off excess.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet until hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and saute the chicken breasts for about 3 minutes on each side. They will be golden brown.
  3. Put the chicken breasts on a plate and set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan and add the sliced mushrooms.
  5. Cook the mushrooms until they have given up their liquid and are beginning to brown around the edges. Add the capers if you're using them.
  6. Add the Marsala wine and cook until the wine is reduced by half, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and cook about 3 minutes more. The sauce will thicken slightly.
  7. Lower the heat to medium and add the chicken breasts back to the pan. Cook a few minutes more until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  8. Swirl in the 2 remaining tablespoons of butter and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top. Serve with pasta, quinoa, rice or potatoes.

Kate’s Tips

  • You want your chicken breasts thin, so when you take them out of the package, slice them in half the long way to make each breast half it’s thickness.
  • If you don’t have a mallet to pound them, try using a rolling pin. Pound to less than 1/4 inch thickness.
  • If you can’t get Marsala wine, use a sweet sherry or vermouth.
  • You can use any kind of fresh mushrooms you like.
  • Use chicken breasts or veal scaloppine.
  • To clean mushrooms, don’t wash them but use a damp paper towel to wipe off any debris.

I think about heaven a lot. I can sense a hint of the banquet, hear an echo of the orchestra tuning up. I can almost smell the bread baking, hear the hustle and bustle of those setting the table getting all things ready.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When I go outside, I feel the ache in nature, desperate to give voice to centuries of silence. I catch a glimpse of eternity in a perfect flower or a shooting star.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But I don't want to spoil my appetite. I prefer to wait with eager anticipation because even though I don't fully know what I'm waiting for, I do know this: I was made for a specific, incredible, perfect place and I know Who's I am. I know a day is soon coming when I'll look up and see the sight my heart ever longs for, the sight I was made for—my King, coming on clouds of Glory, to take me up with Him where there is no more crying, no fear, no sorrow, no sin, no disease.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We are all in a season of dying. We've had to die to our routines and expectations, our way of life that seemed normal and good just weeks ago. ⁠But in seasons of death, we can look for resurrection. Life is hard and confusing at the moment but it's still good. Death is hard but resurrection is always worth it. And resurrection is coming. New life, new ways of living are coming.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert" (Isaiah 43:19, ESV)⁠.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
He always makes a way, friend. It might not look the way you thought it would, but you can trust He has you. Now's the time to press in, lean into His heart, ask Him what He would have you do or say or learn during this time when so much makes so little sense. If you ask and quiet the noise of your heart, He will answer. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When Mary went to the tomb early that morning, she didn't recognize the resurrected Christ. She looked but didn't see...until He said her name. As soon as He said, "Mary," she knew.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
In seasons of dying, something will resurrect, I promise. ⁠⠀

This is on Facebook, y’all. I don’t know how t This is on Facebook, y’all. I don’t know how they picked me and my book but I’m beyond thrilled they did!!. Tomorrow at 2pm Central I will be on the @booksamillion Facebook page for their Pray in May series answering questions as the video I made about THE GOD DARE plays. The page has over 350,000 likes so it’s a little intimidating but exciting for sure😊

The series began on Sunday with the incredible @sheilawalsh1 and now it’s my turn. I’m believing folks will be inspired and blessed by my story and motivated to step out and take God at His Word. To once and for all let go of fear and doubt and step with Him into the glorious future. To choose to be chosen to change the world!. This is the perfect season to dig deep with God and hear His heart for what’s next for your life. He is speaking. The Holy Spirit is talking to you, yes YOU. All you need to do is listen and follow. He might ask you to do something that seems impossible but, remember this: the impossible is God’s comfort zone!. I hope you can join me tomorrow!. #prayinmay #booksamillion #thegoddare #faithingod #faithfulness #faithoverfear #hopeingod #choosetobechosen #impossible #seasonofchange
@joyfullifemagazine ・・・ After one baby, I de @joyfullifemagazine ・・・
After one baby, I dealt with infertility, or should I say, infertility dealt with me. 
Everything I knew about God, motherhood, my purpose—all were tarnished by a hard season.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The pain of a harsh diagnosis pierced my heart like a sword. Depression made a move when I realized the one thing I wanted—a big family—wasn't happening. After four failed adoption attempts, I had no clue what to do.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The pain and loss grew each day, making me sad, resentful, and filled with self-pity. I had no room for gratitude and couldn't see the point in any of it.⁠ Years went by and the pain remained, with that empty feeling each time a friend announced a pregnancy. As I learned to manage the ache, it felt like telling a nasty dog, "Go sit over there. I'm not petting you," because⁠ whatever you pet sticks around. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
God let me dangle over a precipice of self-pity until I was ready to do three things:.

New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about Go New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about God and His Word is still a mystery, even to the greatest theological minds down through the ages. Faith–simple, childlike #faith is what holds the whole thing up. But, do we just stop there?
.
In 2 Timothy 2:15, we’re charged to rightly handle the Word of Truth and to study to show ourselves approved unto God. And in 1 Peter 3, we’re told to always be ready to give an account of the hope that we have in Christ.
.
Should part of that readiness be Biblical literacy–not just being able to quote Scripture, but being able to use those Scriptures to better know God–His character and attributes–and to better know the doctrines of our faith and how those are to be lived out in our everyday lives? .

Today, we’re joined by @phyliciamasonheimer who is going to help answer that question and hopefully give us some tips for living in the tension of both a simple faith and practical theology.
