Chicken marsala
Chicken marsala is an Italian-American dish made from chicken cutlets, mushrooms, and Marsala wine. The dish dates back to the 19th century, when it most likely originated with English families who lived in the western Sicily region, where Marsala wine is produced.[1] The chicken is coated in flour, briefly sautéed, and then removed from the pan, which is then used to make a Marsala reduction sauce. The sauce is made by reducing the wine to nearly the consistency of a syrup while adding onions or shallots, as well as mushrooms, herbs and possibly other ingredients. The sauce is then poured over the chicken, which has been kept in a warming oven, and served immediately.[2]
In an alternative method, the chicken breasts may be braised in a mixture of Marsala, butter, olive oil, mushrooms, and spices.
