Authentic Chicken Marsala Recipe with White Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch dried oregano to taste
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 0.5 cup Marsala wine
• 0.5 cup chicken stock

Instructions

1. Bring water and rice to a rolling boil in a saucepan on high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. Set the cooked rice aside.
2. In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk together flour, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Gently press each chicken breast into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then shake off any excess flour.
3. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the hot skillet, cooking until it's cooked through and golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Place the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom. Add minced garlic, stirring until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, cooking until tender and they have released their moisture, around 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the Marsala wine and chicken stock.
5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the Marsala sauce generously over each piece. Increase heat to medium-high, bringing the sauce to a boil. Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Serve the chicken Marsala with the delicious pan sauce over cooked rice immediately.
