The marsala sauce is quite simple to make. Simmering the marsala wine, chicken broth, and heavy cream in a saucepan until it reaches a creamy consistency is all that is required of you. Toss in some pan-fried chicken, some sautéed mushrooms, and voila!
How to cook Chicken Marsala?
To begin, cover the chicken thighs with butter and olive oil and cook them in a skillet until golden brown on both sides. Afterward, remove and set away from the chicken thighs from the skillet.
For the Marsala sauce, sauté the garlic and mushrooms in the same pan with just a little melted butter until they’re soft. Cook until the food is aromatic for maybe a minute or two.
