Creamy Chicken Marsala Flavorful Dinner Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and half of the dried thyme.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter, then add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are browned and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and the remaining thyme, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, stirring constantly until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken breasts to the pan and spoon sauce over them. Allow everything to simmer together for another 2-3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavor.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
