Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Paleo Marsala Chicken.
Step 1
To start, take your chicken breasts and place them between two sheets of plastic wrap on a clean, flat surface.
Step 2
Grab a meat mallet and gently pound the chicken until it reaches a lovely thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Step 3
This not only helps the chicken cook evenly but also makes it tender and juicy.
Step 4
Once you’ve done that, sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper generously on both sides to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Next, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Wait until the butter melts and starts to bubble, then carefully add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Step 7
Sear them for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the delicious sauce.
Step 9
Now, lower the heat to medium.
Step 10
If your skillet looks a bit dry, feel free to drizzle in a little more olive oil.
Step 11
Toss in the prosciutto and minced shallots, cooking them for about a minute until they’re warmed through and fragrant.
Step 12
Next, add the halved mushrooms and sauté until they’re nicely browned, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 13
Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out all those wonderful flavors.
Step 14
It’s time to add a splash of Marsala wine to the skillet.
Step 15
Let it simmer for about a minute, allowing the rich flavors to meld together beautifully.
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.
Step 17
To finish off this delightful dish, stir in a tablespoon of butter until it melts into the sauce, creating a silky texture.
Step 18
Return the chicken to the skillet and let it simmer for an additional minute, just until the chicken is heated through and infused with all those amazing flavors.
Step 19
For a pop of color and freshness, garnish with chopped parsley, and taste the sauce, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Step 20
Serve this mouthwatering chicken dish with your favorite sides, and enjoy a meal that’s sure to impress!.
