Every time I’m going to a restaurant, I love to order Chicken Marsala because it’s utterly addictive and fancy.

Since I discovered this incredible recipe, I tried to make it at home, and I finally found the best recipe that impresses the guests.

Marsala wine is a brandy-fortified wine from Sicily that comes in two main kinds: sweet and dry. Dry Marsala Wine is your best option when making savory dishes.

How to Make the Best Chicken Marsala

creamy chicken marsala

Start by prepping the chicken. Chose boneless chicken breast and using with a sharp knife slice, horizontally toward the thickest end to cut into two even halves.

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in the pan, season with salt and pepper. Cook on each side for a few minutes until golden brown. I love using both olive oil and butter to fry the chicken because it makes the perfect golden browned chicken and delivers fantastic flavors.

After you remove the chicken from the pan, add some more olive oil and cook the mushrooms in the same pan as the chicken. The chicken bits add tons of flavor into the sauce!

Make the Marsala Sauce: Add Marsala wine, heavy cream, chicken broth and seasonings in the pan. Let all the flavors combine and wait for the sauce to thicken.

Substitutes for Marsala Wine

  • Madeira wine (any dry wine could work) – tastes similar to Marsala Wine
  • 1/4 cup grape juice + 1 tbsp vanilla extract + 2 tbsp sherry vinegar (non-alcoholic substitute)
  • Red Vermouth (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup of a dry white wine+1 teaspoon of brandy
  • Port (1/2 cup) – pricey but good!
