Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a shallow dish, mix the flour with a dash of salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon and set aside.
- Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest.
- Add the olive oil to the bacon fat in the skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the floured chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and the onions are translucent.
- Add the dried oregano and stir to combine.
- Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter until melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet and stir to combine.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom and bacon sauce over the top.
- Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken.
- Serve the chicken marsala hot, with the mushroom and bacon sauce spooned over the top. Pair with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, pasta, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before dredging in flour; this helps achieve a nice, crispy texture.
- Use cremini or button mushrooms for a classic flavor, but feel free to mix in other types like shiitake or porcini for added depth.
- Deglaze the pan with Marsala wine, making sure to scrape up all the browned bits – these add fantastic flavor to the sauce.
- If you prefer a less salty dish, opt for low-sodium chicken broth and unsalted butter.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor just before serving.
And there you have it – a scrumptious plate of Chicken Marsala with Bacon and Mushrooms! This dish is sure to impress with its rich, complex flavors and tender, juicy chicken. Serve it with a side of pasta, mashed potatoes, or fresh vegetables to complete the meal. Enjoy the tastes of a fine dining experience right at your home.
