Dairy Free Chicken Marsala

Total time40 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time25 min

Golden, thin-pounded chicken cutlets get seared until deeply browned, then simmered in a savory Marsala wine sauce loaded with earthy cremini mushrooms and a hit of garlic. The wine reduces down with chicken broth and fresh thyme into a glossy, rich sauce that clings to every bite, and a scattering of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole plate. It's a restaurant-style dinner that comes together in one skillet, with tender, juicy chicken and deeply caramelized mushrooms doing all the heavy lifting. This is a genuinely satisfying pick for a dairy free table, and it plates up looking every bit as elegant as the classic. Serve it over rice, mashed potatoes, or a pile of egg noodles to soak up all that extra sauce.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
10 oz cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup dry marsala wine
¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Halve each chicken breast horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets. Place each cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
2
Season the cutlets on both sides with the salt and pepper. Spread the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each cutlet, pressing lightly so the flour adheres, then shaking off any excess.
