This dish is a classic Italian recipe that combines tender chicken breasts with a rich and flavorful Marsala wine sauce, and is served with roasted asparagus for a healthy and satisfying meal.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the Chicken Marsala:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
For the Roasted Asparagus:
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
To start, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Then, prepare the chicken by pounding it to an even thickness and seasoning it with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the asparagus by tossing it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the asparagus out on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
To serve, place the chicken on a plate and spoon the Marsala sauce over the top. Serve the roasted asparagus on the side.
This Chicken Marsala with Roasted Asparagus dish is a perfect combination of savory and sweet flavors. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the Marsala wine sauce adds a rich and complex flavor to the dish.
