Ok you guys, so this is my first time making this Chicken Thighs Marsala dish! I was a little nervous making this. But in the end it turned out to be one of the easiest and tastiest dishes I have made! Oh and did I mention it requires only 1 pan? YES! πŸ™‚

Ok so let’s start by me telling you a little secret, I’ve never cooked with Marsala wine before. In fact I wasn’t even sure where to buy it in the grocery store. I literally wandered around from aisle to aisle looking up and down the shelves. Note to anyone who has never purchased this: Marsala wine can be found with the cooking oils. Well at least that’s where it was in my store. πŸ™‚

The Marsala wine gives this dish such an amazing flavor that is mildly sweet and savory.

My 12 year old son is also my toughest critic. He gobbled this up so fast and said ‘Hey mom, you should add this to your food blog’. Yes, I think I will! πŸ™‚

Here’s what I love about this dish:

This can be made in just over 30 minutes, so it’s a great for a quick easy meal.

You only need 1 pan to make this! (insert lots of clapping) Less dishes = me happy πŸ™‚

 

The chicken is uber tender and juicy.

The mushrooms and the sauce are so good, I could literally drink this sauce right out of the pan. πŸ˜›

The name of the dish sounds fancy, so you could totally impress your loved one by making this simple dish. πŸ™‚

    Olive oil should never be used to cook at temperatures over low to medium low. It damages the otherwise healthy fat. I’d cook this in avocado oil or butter.

      Hi Diane,

      Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog! In this recipe it’s actually cooked over med-med high heat and is perfectly fine for Olive Oil. However you can substitute the oil of your choice for this recipe. Happy cooking! πŸ™‚

        Does it have to be a iron skillet?

          Hey Delaqua, A Cast Iron Skillet will work the best since it can go from stove top to oven. If you are using any other type of skillet, make sure it’s oven-safe.

    I’ve made this twice and it’s now my favorite Chicken Marsala recipe. Lots of flavor and very easy. Served over rice, delicious!

    I have made Chicken Marsala many times and this was a new version. Frankly, I think it is the best and will toss my others aside. I did make some pappardelle to absorb that wonderful sauce. Thank you!

    When you removed the chicken from the pan to pat dry did you leave the oil in the pan or remove the oil before adding the other ingreaduents?

    Hi Leny, There wasn’t much oil left in the pan so I left it in there. It’s totally up to you if you want to leave it in or not. I think it gives it more flavor.
