Equipment

  • large heavy-bottomed pan

Ingredients

  • 3.13 Pounds chicken breast or chicken tenders
  • 1.25 tsp salt or as per taste
  • 0.63 tsp black pepper
  • 5 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 20 Ounce brown button mushrooms
  • 1.88 cup dry marsala wine
  • 2.5 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 0.63 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 1.88 cup chicken stock reduced-sodium
  • 1.25 tsp onion powder
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1.25 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 5 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken breasts or tenders with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, add more olive oil if needed and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until they are browned and have released their juices.
  • Pour in the Marsala wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the unsalted butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until well combined.
  • Gradually pour in the chicken stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  • Add in the minced garlic and onion powder and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half.
  • Stir in the heavy whipping cream and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes until heated through.
  • Serve the Chicken Marsala over pasta or rice and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Here are some tips to help you make the perfect Cheesecake Factory Chicken Marsala:
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken, as this will prevent it from achieving a golden brown crust.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan for best results, as this will distribute heat evenly and prevent burning.
  • For a thicker sauce, add more flour or allow the sauce to simmer longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • If you don’t have Marsala wine on hand, you can substitute with dry Sherry or white wine.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add in a pinch of red pepper flakes or dried herbs to the sauce while it’s simmering.
