Serving Suggestions
Although I love eating a big bowl of Chicken Marsala just as it is, you might like to enjoy it with a side dish. Here are a few side dishes to serve with Chicken Marsala:
Chicken Marsala For One
This single serving Chicken Marsala is a low carb meal made with tender chicken, mushrooms, and a flavorful Marsala wine sauce. It’s ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for a quick, satisfying dinner.
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 (4 to 5 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast -sliced into ¼-inch pieces
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt -divided
- ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons salted butter -divided
- ¼ cup sliced mushrooms (1 oz)
- ¼ cup chopped onions (1 oz)
- 1 clove garlic -minced
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup dry Marsala wine
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Place the chicken strips in a small bowl and season with ⅛ teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
- In a 10-inch skillet, heat the oil and 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover.
- Melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Add the mushrooms, onions, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, until the mushrooms soften and begin to brown. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the broth, Marsala wine, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and simmer for 1 minute.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and heat until warmed through.
- Transfer to a plate or bowl and serve hot.
Notes
- Read the full recipe first: Go through the entire post, including the Ingredient Notes, and gather your ingredients. This dish comes together quickly, so it’s best to be prepared.
- Slice the chicken thin: Cut the chicken into 1/4-inch pieces so it cooks evenly and quickly.
- Want a thicker sauce? Lightly dredge the chicken in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour before cooking, similar to our single serving Tuscan chicken recipe. This helps thicken the sauce.
