on Sep 19, 2014, Updated Feb 22, 2023 6 Comments I just learned recently that chicken marsala is one of my brother-in-law’s favorite meals. And since we’ve missed the home football games that his high school football team have had this year for one reason or another, I knew just what to make for him to help celebrate their big win and as a way of letting him know that we were cheering him on even if we hadn’t been there. I always start by slicing my chicken breasts in half lengthwise since it not only cuts down on the cooking time for those big ol chicken breasts, but it also makes the portions just about right! You can take the extra step that traditional chicken marsala recipes call for of pounding the chicken if you like. It makes for a tender piece of chicken, but I believe that mine has been pretty tender without that step. It also saves a bit of time. If you have frustrations of the day to work through though, just toss some of the chicken into a zip top freezer bag or between two pieces of parchment. Then, grab your rolling pin and pound away until the chicken is about 1/4″ or so. Then, just carry on with the recipe as listed. I love to serve chicken marsala over pasta, cooked rice, smashed potatoes, or even a pile of green beans. Hey, don’t knock it til you try it! Ha! Here’s my Chicken Marsala recipe. I hope your family loves it as much as mine does. It makes a great celebratory meal! Enjoy!Robyn xo
