A Simple Chicken Marsala recipe

4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken breasts
  • 4 oz Marsala Wine (or Cream Sherry)
  • 4 oz Salted Butter
  • 1 Large onion

Steps

Prep

  1. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts (4).
  2. Dice the onions (1).

Sear

  1. Add some of the butter to a pot and brown the chicken (4) (you may need to do this in batches).
  2. Remove the browned chicken and set aside.

Sauce

  1. Add the remainder of the butter and heat until the butter browns.
  2. Add the onions and cook until partially softened.
  3. Return the chicken to the pot.
  4. Add the sherry (4 oz), and enough water to cover.
  5. Boil for about 30 minutes, then simmer for another hour.

Serving suggestions

This dish goes well with rice, green vegetables and roasted root vegetables.
When roasting vegetables you can skim the clarified butter from the marsala sauce (best done once cooled) for an extra decadent meal.

The onion and sherry can be doubled to make more sauce, with ~50% more butter.
