Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Chicken tenders | 1 1/2 lbs |
| Lemon | 1 |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |
| White pepper | 1/4 tsp |
| Flour | 1/4 cup |
| Butter | 6 tbsp |
| Olive oil | 2 tbsp |
| Mushrooms | 8 oz |
| Dry Marsala wine | 3/4 – 1 cup |
Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the chicken: squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken tenders and season with salt and white pepper. Then, coat each tender evenly with flour, ensuring a light, even coating.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt three tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and slightly wilted. Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside for later use.
-
Using the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt and the oil to heat up.
-
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders into the skillet, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cook the chicken over moderate heat, allowing it to brown lightly on both sides. This process typically takes around 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken tenders.
-
Once the chicken is golden brown on both sides, add the cooked mushrooms back into the skillet, along with the dry Marsala wine.
-
Cover the skillet and allow the chicken to simmer in the Marsala wine sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. This step allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, creating a rich and savory sauce.
-
Once the chicken is cooked to perfection and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from the heat.
-
Serve the Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, alongside your favorite pasta, a crisp salad, and warm crusty rolls.
Enjoy this tantalizing Chicken Marsala with Mushrooms recipe, a true testament to the comforting flavors of Italian cuisine! 🍗🍄🍷
