Print Recipe

Chicken Marsala is an Italian-American dish made with chicken breasts, mushrooms, and Marsala wine. Bobby Flay’s version stays true to the classic while adding his bold, balanced seasoning and technique to ensure the chicken remains juicy and the sauce is full of layered flavor.

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts – 2 large (halved horizontally into cutlets)

  • All-purpose flour – ½ cup (for dredging)

  • Salt and black pepper – To taste

  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons

  • Unsalted butter – 1 tablespoon

For the Marsala Sauce

  • Cremini or button mushrooms (sliced) – 2 cups

  • Shallot (minced) – 1 small

  • Garlic (minced) – 2 cloves

  • Dry Marsala wine – ¾ cup

  • Chicken broth – 1 cup

  • Heavy cream – ¼ cup (optional for a richer sauce)

  • Fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried) – 1 teaspoon

  • Unsalted butter (for finishing) – 1 tablespoon

  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish) – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  • Prepare and season the chicken – Pound the chicken cutlets to even thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.

  • Sear the chicken – Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

  • Cook the mushrooms – In the same pan, add mushrooms and cook for 5–6 minutes until browned. Add shallots and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute.

  • Deglaze with Marsala wine – Pour in Marsala, scraping up browned bits. Let it reduce by half (about 3–4 minutes).

  • Add broth and herbs – Stir in chicken broth and thyme. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.

  • Finish the sauce – Stir in heavy cream if using, and return chicken to the pan. Simmer gently for 5–7 minutes until sauce thickens and chicken is fully cooked.

  • Finish with butter and garnish – Stir in a tablespoon of butter for shine. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
