Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is typically served over pasta. This dish is made with chicken, mushrooms, and Marsala wine, and is a delicious and easy to make meal. But, does Chicken Marsala have dairy? The answer is no, not traditionally. The dish is typically made without any dairy components, but if you are looking to add a creamy element to the dish, you can add a bit of heavy cream when making the sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish and lightly dredge each side of the chicken in the flour.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the mushrooms to the same pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened and lightly browned. Add the Marsala wine and chicken broth to the pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve over pasta or mashed potatoes.
So there you have it - Chicken Marsala without any dairy. It's a great dish for a family dinner or for entertaining guests. Serve it over your favorite type of pasta or mashed potatoes for a delicious and easy meal that everyone will love.
