Chicken Marsala - Olive Branch Oil & Spice

 

This is an easy and flavorful Chicken Marsala that comes together in one pan in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup Nocellara del Belice Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 ounces pancetta, cut into pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breast with a meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper then dredge in flour.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken in the skillet, working in batches if there isn’t enough room, and cook about 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and tent loosely with foil.

  3. Add the pancetta to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.

  4. Off the heat stir in the Marsala, then return to high heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and butter, then add the chicken back in.
