Chicken Marsala

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken fillets ($2.98)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (divided, $0.02)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ($0.05)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian herbs ($0.30)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (with 1 tablespoon set aside, $0.04¹)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided, $0.12)
  • 1 teaspoon salt ($0.03)
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms (sliced, approximately 2 cups, $2.17²)
  • ½ white onion (thinly sliced, $0.58)
  • ½ cup Marsala wine for cooking ($2.33³)
  • 1 cup chicken stock ($0.13⁴)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley (chopped, $0.12)
  • 2 tablespoons butter with salt ($0.27)

Instructions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Place each piece in a freezer bag and gently pound them to about 1/4" thickness using a mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix ½ tsp salt, black pepper, dried Italian herbs, and all-purpose flour, reserving 1 Tbsp of flour. Coat the chicken breasts in the mixture and shake off the excess.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side in batches if needed, then transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium, then add 1 tsp of sea salt, sliced mushrooms, and onions to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes, flipping occasionally until the mushrooms are browned.

Step 5

Pour in the Marsala wine and broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer until the liquid reduces by a third, about 4 minutes on medium-high heat.
