How To Make Chicken Marsala
To make this easy chicken marsala recipe, first, coat the chicken thighs and pan-fry with butter and olive oil in a skillet (or a nonstick frying pan). Then, remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and set them aside. To make the Marsala sauce, sauté the sliced mushrooms and garlic in the same pan with some melted butter. Sauté until aromatic. Next, add the marsala wine, chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Add salt to taste. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring the sauce to a simmer. Add the chicken thighs back to the skillet, keep simmering them for another 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. Dish out and serve immediately with chopped parsley sprinkled on top.
