Steps:
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and oregano.
- Add chicken breasts to bag and shake to coat.
- Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
- Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, saute mushrooms in butter for 3 minutes or until tender.
- Stir in broth and wine. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes over medium heat or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
- Pour over chicken breasts.
Tips:
- To make your chicken Marsala even more flavorful, use high-quality ingredients. Look for organic, free-range chicken and a robust Marsala wine.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when you're cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Be patient when you're reducing the Marsala wine. It will take a few minutes for the wine to reduce and thicken.
- Don't boil the Marsala wine sauce. If you do, the alcohol will evaporate and the sauce will lose its flavor.
- Serve the chicken Marsala immediately over pasta or rice.
Conclusion:
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and impressive meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it to your family or friends, chicken Marsala is sure to be a hit.
