How to Make the Chicken Masala
Ingredients:
Chicken:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (plain flour) 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon black cracked pepper 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 fillets* 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Marsala Sauce:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter as needed 8 ounces (250g) brown or Cremini mushrooms, sliced 4-5 cloves garlic, minced 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine 1 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or stock) 3/4 cup heavy cream (thickened cream, evaporated milk or half and half may also be used)** 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Instructions:
- Mix the flour, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch pan or skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry 2 of the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides (about 3 to 4 minutes per side). Transfer to warm plate, tent with foil and keep warm.
- Repeat the same with the remaining 2 chicken breasts.
- In the same pan with the remaining pan grease leftover from the chicken, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the mushrooms and for 2-3 minutes until browned, scraping away at any of the leftover chicken bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the Marsala and the broth and simmer until reduced by half and starting to thicken, (about 10-15 minutes).
- Pour in the cream and return the chicken into the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes). Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. (The sauce will continue to thicken off the heat.)
- Serve over cooked angel hair pasta (or pasta of choice), rice, potatoes, cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles, if desired.
Notes:
*For pounding chicken breasts method:
You will need 4 chicken breasts (skinless and boneless). Place one chicken breast in between sheets of plastic wrap (or in a ziplock bag) and use a flat side of a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound and flatten to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Set the flattened chicken breast aside and repeat with the remaining breasts.
Continue on from Step 2.
**If using half and half, be careful not to bring your sauce to a rapid boil or it may curdle.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
