Sautéed chicken in a creamy marsala wine sauce with mushrooms and red onions. With a little tang from the marsala wine, this dish is savory and delicious!
Creamy Chicken Marsala is typically made with mushrooms and marsala wine. This creates a tangy sauce that is straightforward and usually tasty. When I've had this dish in the past, it always felt like it was missing something. My taste buds were crying for that something. You know the feeling. When you taste something that is almost perfect. I decided this classic dish needed a little cream in the sauce to really bring the flavors all together. And guess what? It worked! I know you'll find this fun spin on a classic dish as delicious as my fans do.
I'd like to show you some step-by-step pictures of how it looks to cook each stage of this chicken marsala recipe. I think you'll find them helpful.
This is the beginning of the process.
Start by butterflying two pieces of chicken. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over the top, and pound until about ¼ inch thick.

Slice and cook the mushrooms.
Simmer the chicken and sauce for 5 minutes.
The chicken continues to cook in the cream sauce after resting and retains amazing moisture from this process. I never have to worry about overcooking these beauts because of this. The key is to turn the temperature to medium-high and brown them quickly on both sides, without cooking all the way through. After that, let them rest until you put them on top of the cream sauce to continue to come to temperature. This also thickens the sauce up nicely and intensifies the flavors.
