Chicken Marsala

  • 2 medium boneless chicken breasts
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 to 3 tbsps unsalted butter
  • 2 to 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 to 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 6 ounces assorted mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup sweet Marsala
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • Leaves from 1 fresh rosemary sprig
  1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. 
  2. Melt 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. 
  3. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. (I didn't have boneless, cooked my breasts about 10 minutes per side)
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate. 
  5. Add another tablespoon of butter and oil, if necessary.
  6. Set the chicken aside.Add 1 tbsp of oil to the skillet. 
  7. Add the shallot and garlic. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 
  8. Add a tbsp of the olive oil, if necessary. 
  9. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender and the juices evaporate, about 3 minutes. 
  10. Season with salt. 
  11. Add the Marsala. Simmer until the Marsala reduces by half, about 2 minutes. 
  12. Add the broth and the rosemary leaves. 
  13. Simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. 
  14. Return the chicken to the skillet. 
  15. Pour in all of the pan juices. 
  16. Cook just until heated through, turning to coat, about 1 minute. 
  17. Stir the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter into the sauce. 
  18. Season the sauce with salt and pepper, to taste.
  19. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
