Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 small shallots, chopped
  • 1 cup (100 g) chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) marsala wine
  • 1 cup (250 ml) chicken stock
  • Flat leaf parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pound the chicken breasts to 1/2 inch thickness, season with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet and fry the chicken for 5 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté shallots for 2-3 minutes, then add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1 tbsp of flour over the mushrooms and stir. Add marsala wine and chicken stock, bringing the sauce to a boil.
  • Lower the heat and return the chicken to the pan. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve with a side dish of your choice.

Notes

For an even cook, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before frying. Variation: Try using veal instead of chicken for a more traditional version of chicken marsala.
