Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

  • 1 slice onion, minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic

  • 2 cups Marsala wine

  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock

  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon molasses

  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon cold water

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded flat

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, or to taste

Directions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir mushrooms, onion, and garlic into the melted butter, increase heat to medium-high, and cook and stir the mixture until the mushrooms are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Stir Marsala wine, chicken stock, brown sugar, lemon juice, molasses, and corn syrup into the mushroom mixture; bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid reduces by about half, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. Whisk cornstarch into cold water in a small bowl. Stream the cornstarch slurry into the Marsala sauce, stirring continually; cook and stir until the sauce thickens, another 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Heat olive oil with 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken until golden brown until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  5. Arrange each chicken breast into the center of a plate. Drizzle Marsala sauce over each chicken breast; garnish with green onion to serve.
