Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium Chicken breast
10 oz Cremini mushrooms ((sliced))
1/2 cup Marsala cooking wine
1/2 cup Chicken broth, reduced sodium
1 tbsp Arrowroot powder ((or xanthan gum - see notes*))
1/4 cup Unsalted butter ((or ghee))
Sea salt
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breast lightly with sea salt and pepper. Cook the chicken in a single layer for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Add another tablespoon of butter to the pan. Add the mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and their liquid has evaporated.
  • Add the Marsala wine to the pan. Bring to a boil, turning up the heat to do so if necessary. Simmer for a few minutes, until the the volume of the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Whisk the arrowroot powder and chicken broth in a small bowl. Add the chicken broth mixture and remaining butter to the pan. Simmer, stirring and scraping any browned bits from the bottom, for a few more minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan. Heat for a minute or two until the chicken is heated through. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Choose organic, free-range chicken breasts, and use a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking.
  • Brining the chicken breasts in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar before cooking helps to keep them moist and juicy.
  • Be sure to sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet until they are golden brown on all sides. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil to sauté the mushrooms. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan and will give them a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add the Marsala wine to the skillet and let it reduce by half. This will concentrate the flavor of the wine and create a delicious sauce.
  • Serve the chicken Marsala over your favorite pasta or rice. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Paleo chicken Marsala is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great option for entertaining guests, as it is sure to impress. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and creamy Parmesan cheese, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
