Description

Inspired by the restaurant classic, this Carrabba’s Chicken Marsala features tender pan-fried chicken cutlets smothered in a creamy, savory mushroom marsala sauce that’s date-night-worthy but easy enough for weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • ¾ cup Marsala wine
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (optional for creamy version)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

    • Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, season with salt and pepper, and dredge in flour.

    • In a skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet.

    • In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until browned.

    • Deglaze with Marsala wine, then add chicken broth and cream (if using). Simmer until sauce slightly thickens.

    • Return chicken to skillet and coat with sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes.

    • Serve garnished with parsley.

 

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, reduce sauce a bit longer.
  • Great with mashed potatoes or pasta.
