Chicken Marsala is a simple weeknight dish that should make its way into your weeknight rotation. You’ve probably heard us talk about ways to make chicken breast taste better, well this is one way. Chicken breast is often overcooked and dried out (it has little fat, usually no skin and no bone, so it’s not your fault!). Getting an excellent pan sauce helps, and I think that’s why Chicken Marsala is so famous. It’s easy and delicious! But don’t overcook the chicken!

Set aside.
Season chicken cutlets all over with salt and pepper. Pour a roughly 1/2-inch layer of flour into a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge each cutlet in flour, tap off excess, and transfer to clean plate.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if necessary, add chicken and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to paper towels to drain.
Add mushrooms to skillet (do not drain remaining oil) and cook, frequently stirring, until mushrooms have released their juices and browned well about 10 minutes. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme and cook, stirring, until shallots are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add more oil if the pan seems too dry at any point.
Pour Marsala mixture into the pan, making sure to scrape in all the gelatin. Bring to a boil, whisking and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the pan, until liquids are reduced by about three-quarters. Add butter and soy sauce and continuously whisk until emulsified and the sauce takes on the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Taste sauce and adjust with a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice, as needed.
Return chicken cutlets to pan, swirling to bathe them in the sauce and warm them through. If the sauce begins to break at any point, swirl in a splash of water to bring it back together. Transfer to a warmed serving plate, spooning sauce all over chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1584215403674{margin-top: 25px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”3″ accent_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
