Chicken Breast Marsala Wine
Ingredients:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup Marsala wine
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
4. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until it has slightly thickened.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness.
