Chicken Marsala is one of the go-to comfort foods that many people fall back on. It is a true delight for fans of chicken and mushrooms. This recipe for Lynne's Chicken Marsala is named after the well-known home-chef Lynne who first offered and refined this dish years ago. The chicken breast is first seared to crispy perfection before being smothered in a rich mushroom and Marsala sauce that will have you licking your plate. The key to the sauce is using high-quality sweet Marsala wine and dry white wine. A note of caution: do not use grocery store Marsala, as the high sodium content will decrease the flavor profile of the dish. You can't go wrong with this delicious and hearty dish as it can be served over mashed potatoes or steamed rice.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 200°F.
2.Place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently using a meat mallet until they are about 1/2-inch thick.
3.Season the chicken breasts with seasoned salt and black pepper, then dredge in flour to coat.
4.In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5.Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm in the oven, while you prepare the mushroom & marsala sauce.
6.In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté onions and garlic on medium heat until soft.
7.Add sliced mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste, continue to cook until the mushrooms are tender, around 4-5 minutes.
8.Add half a cup of both sweet Marsala wine and dry white wine to the skillet. Increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmering for 5-8 minutes and allowing the alcohol to cook off completely, and then stir in butter for a more pleasant flavor.
9.Pour the mushroom sauce into the skillet containing the seared chicken and continue heating until the sauce is heated through and serves.
