Foodie Friday - Creamy Chicken Marsala

I am so excited for "Foodie Friday"! Every Friday, I will share one of my family's favorite recipes for you to test and try with your crew. Some recipes will be Crazy Life originals and some will be borrowed, tweaked, and otherwise perfected Crazy Life style. 


So, cheers to the very first "Foodie Friday" and I hope you enjoy!



Creamy Chicken Marsala

4-6 Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts
3 TBSP All Purpose Flour - season with salt, pepper, onion powder
2 to 3 TBSP Olive Oil
Sea Salt & Pepper
5 Fresh Cremini or Baby Bella Mushrooms - thinly sliced - more or less depending on your taste
1/2 Red Onion - thinly sliced
3 stalks Green Onion - thinly sliced
2 cloves of Garlic - minced 
1 cup Marsala Wine - I used Florio 1833 Sweet Marsala
1 cup Chicken Broth
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
3 TBSP - Cooking Sherry - more can be added if needed
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Preheat Oven to 350 - Season chicken breast with S&P, place on a cooking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Heat oil in skillet on medium heat. Lightly coat cooked chicken seasoned flour. Brown chicken, add red onion and saute for about a minute. Add Marsala, broth, and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 5 minutes or until slightly reduced, add mushrooms, cover and cook for another 5 minutes until reduced. Add cream, sherry, and green onion, cook for another 2 minutes. Taste and add additional S&P if needed.

Serve over whole wheat linguine, penne, or the pasta/potato/rice of your choice. Top with fresh Parmesan cheese (optional).
