An Easy Chicken Marsala that we consider to be The Best Chicken Marsala (that we’ve made!) It’s just like the Chicken Marsala that you get at the restaurants.
The original recipe was posted on BigBearsWife.com on August 26, 2009 and updated on February 18th, 2016.
Our apartment is filled with little girl giggles, pink suitcases and stuffed animals. haha Our god-daughters, Alyssa and Kendra, are staying with us for the weekend and they’ve taken over the apartment. 🙂 Of course, we’re totally fine with it and I’ve got a few things planned for us already, like a super cute fairy craft, bike rides and a trip to the market! However before we get into making crafts and baking cookies this weekend I thought I’d take a few minutes and share this Easy Chicken Marsala recipe with y’all!
I first made this Easy Chicken Marsala back in 2009 when we were living at Camp Lejeune. I was just starting to learn how to cook and this was one of the first “fancy meals” that I cooked for Thomas and I. We had just gotten an Olive Garden in Jacksonville, Thomas had just come home from Iraq and we were trying to make some of our favorite restaurant meals at home.
After a few tries, we finally came up with this recipe that we both loved that reminded me of the dish we ordered at Olive Garden. You see when Olive Garden came to Jacksonville the lines were insane. We ate there a few times but after a while I just got tired of standing in the super long lines to eat out. Making this at home was a much better option! Seriously, even now I won’t wait inline to eat at a restaurant (unless we’re at Disney! hahaha).
We’ve made this for anniversary dinners and normal Monday night meals. So it can be fancy or just an every day type of dinner. I made this for dinner the other day and I thought that it was time to update these photos. haha They look so much better now.

An Easy Chicken Marsala that we consider to be The Best Chicken Marsala (that we've made!) It's just like the Chicken Marsala that you get at the restaurants.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup flour
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups of chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Marsala cooking wine
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Pinch of salt and black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of flour, a pinch of salt and about 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoned flour mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter into a large skillet and heat on medium-high heat.
- Once hot add the chicken and brown the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side and then set them aside.
- Chop up mushrooms and add them into the skillet with another tablespoon of butter.
- Cook the mushrooms until they start turning brown.
- Next, add 1/2 a cup of Marsala wine and bring it to a boil.
- Keep stirring frequently until the wine has reduced down and then add about 3/4 to 1 cup of chicken broth.
- Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are done.
- The sauce should be thickening up at this point, if you need it to be thinner add more chicken broth or Marsala wine.
- Serve over Pasta of your choice and garnish with mozzarella cheese!
- For melted mozzarella , sprinkle it onto the cheese and place until the broiler for 2-3 minutes before plating with pasta.

Made this for dinner tonight it was a big hit and done within 30 min!!!! I pounded out 3 chic breasts and used 1 cup of Marsala and 1 cup of chic stock, I did add a tsp of minced garlic while saute mushrooms. The only thing I will change next time is I will double the sauce recipe as the angel hair pasta soaked up a lot of the wine sauce!! Thanks for this recipe, it’s a keeper!

I love looking at old photos too to see how far we’ve come! I agree, this dish can be made for special occasions or during the week, I’d never say no to this!

One of my favorite dishes, this looks delicious!

Very pretty updated photos! It’s a bit scary to look at old photos on good recipes. I’m always looking for a good Date Night meal, and my hubs would LOVE this one with all of those mushrooms.

That looks absolutely scrumptious! This is one of my favorite dinners … Love how rich the marsala wine makes the sauce.

Your new and improved chicken Marsala photo looks delicious. The older one gave me a little chuckle as in “been there, photographed that.” Hope you had a fun weekend with the girls. Your dinner is making me hungry!

I LOVE making my favorite restaurant recipes at home. Mostly because I know I’ll be saving money PLUS it’s usually made with better ingredients. I have actually never made chicken marsala before but this really should change because it’s now 7:30am and I’m craving it!

This was one of the first “grown up” recipes I made as a kid…I printed off a menu with 3 items on it for my parents anniversary. They waited a loooong time at their candlelight table for 2 in the living room while I while I cooked my lil heart out! Guessing you whipped up yours much quicker lol! Yummo!

What sweet memories! This looks terrific – I can see how this would easily be the best chicken marsala! I hope you had fun with the kiddos! Fairy crafts sound promising (like, making fairy gardens?!) Lovely!
