How to Make Easy Chicken Marsala

  1. In a large plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the bag.
  3. Seal the bag and shake until the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  5. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  6. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  7. Stir in one (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, one (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine, and 1 tablespoon fresh basil (chopped).
  8. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to heat through and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  10. Serve the Chicken Marsala over hot linguine or your favorite pasta. Garnish with extra basil, if desired.
