This Chicken Marsala Recipe (so easy!) makes for a great weeknight meal but is also fancy enough to serve to company! Chicken breast and mushrooms are cooked in creamy marsala wine sauce with shallots and garlic for a flavorful dish that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen.

Marsala is a fortified wine that originates from Sicily. It’s often used in cooking and has a nutty and rich flavor – perfect to pair with mushrooms and chicken. This Chicken Recipe is so easy and fool-proof! We make it again and again and it never fails. Things are about to get a little fancy with this dish but don’t worry, it’s still really easy to make! This is so rich, flavorful, and creamy, it tastes like a real indulgent treat but is actually less than 400 calories.

How to Make Chicken Marsala

1. Prep the chicken and dredge in flour mixture
2. Brown chicken in a skillet on both sides.
3. Cook the shallot, garlic, and mushrooms in butter.
4. Add the chicken back to the skillet and make the sauce.
5. Simmer until reduced and fully cooked.
6. Garnish and enjoy!

This is one of the recipes that get more flavorful if you leave it, so absolutely this can be made ahead of time! Let the pan cool to room temperature and then cover it and pop it in the fridge and reheat on the stove top later in the day.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 – 3 days.
