Creamy Chicken Marsala is the perfect weekend main course—rich, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. Tender chicken breasts are pan-seared and simmered in a luxurious sauce made with earthy mushrooms, sweet Marsala wine, and velvety heavy cream. The result is a comforting, restaurant-quality dish that pairs beautifully with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Ideal for dinner parties or cozy nights in!
Ingredients
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp. butter, divided
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 oz. baby bella or cremini mushrooms, sliced

Instructions
Steps:
- In a shallow bowl, season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge chicken in flour.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter and oil. Add chicken and cook until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and place on a clean plate.
- Make marsala sauce: Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in skillet and add mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are golden and liquid has been released, 6 to 8 minutes (if the pan looks dry, add a splash of olive oil). Add garlic and cook until fragrant, then season with salt.
- Add marsala, chicken broth, heavy cream, and parsley and bring to a simmer.
- Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over breasts. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Serve over angel hair, if desired.
