Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Paleo Marsala Chicken.

1. Step 1

   To start, take your chicken breasts and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap on a clean, flat surface.

2. Step 2

   Grab a meat mallet and gently pound the chicken until it reaches a lovely thickness of about 1/4 inch.

3. Step 3

   This not only helps the chicken cook evenly but also makes it tender and juicy.

4. Step 4

   Once you’ve done that, sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper generously on both sides to enhance the flavor.

5. Step 5

   Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

6. Step 6

   Wait until the butter melts and starts to bubble, then carefully add the chicken breasts to the skillet.

7. Step 7

   Sear them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

8. Step 8

   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the delicious sauce.

   Now, lower the heat to medium.

    If your skillet looks a bit dry, feel free to drizzle in a little more olive oil.

    Toss in the prosciutto and minced shallots, cooking them for about a minute until they’re warmed through and fragrant.

    Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out all those wonderful flavors.

14. Step 14

    It’s time to add a splash of Marsala wine to the skillet.

15. Step 15

    Let it simmer for about a minute, allowing the rich flavors to meld together beautifully.

16. Step 16

    Then, pour in the chicken stock and keep simmering, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces slightly, which should take another minute or so.

17. Step 17

    To finish off this delightful dish, stir in a tablespoon of butter until it melts into the sauce, creating a silky texture.
