Easy Chicken Marsala
This Easy Chicken Marsala is ready in 30 minutes and is both low-carb and gluten-free! You'll love juicy chicken and tender mushrooms in this creamy marsala sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts sliced in half
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup marsala wine
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Slice the chicken in half lengthwise, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil over medium heat. When the butter is melted, cook the chicken on each side for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Set the chicken aside.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan along with the garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- Add the marsala wine to the pan, scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan, and cook the wine over medium heat until the wine is reduced by half (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Slowly add the cornstarch slurry, stirring constantly until well combined. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened.
- Add the chicken back to the pan and toss in the sauce. Garnish with thyme leaves and serve!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
I used fresh thyme for garnish but you can also use chopped parsley.
Chicken thighs can be used in place of the chicken breasts.
You can omit the cornstarch to make this as low-carb as possible, but the sauce will be less thick, making it difficult to serve with the chicken.
