I love chicken marsala and this recipe is sooo good! The recipe below is the original version. But since my stroke, I've been modifying a lot of my rich and delicious meals to make them lighter and healthier but hopefully no less delicious. In the picture I've made a modified version of this to lower the saturated fat and cholesterol by using turkey bacon, and fat free half & half instead of heavy cream and regular bacon, then thickened with a little flour slurry. I do love the full fat version, but just wanted to show how easy it is to lighten this up a bit without compromising on the flavor!

Ingredients For chicken marsala

  • olive oil
  • 4
    boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz
    bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1/2 c
    all purpose flour
  • coarse salt
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1 c
    marsala wine
  • 1/4 c
    heavy cream
  • 8 oz
    sliced fresh mushrooms
  • fresh chopped parsley

How To Make chicken marsala

  • 1
    In a large skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Leave fat in pan.
  • 2
    Put flour on a plate. Pat cutlets dry. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour
  • 3
    Heat pan with bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add a touch more olive oil if necessary to make approximately 2 tablespoons.
  • 4
    When fat is hot, shake excess flour off cutlets and place in pan. Sauté, turning once until browned on both sides. Thin cutlets should only take a few minutes per side. Remove cutlets.
  • 5
    Add mushrooms to pan and saute until softened.
  • 6
    With pan over medium-high heat, add the Marsala and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook Marsala until it is reduced by one quarter.
  • 7
    Stir in cream and simmer until you get a nicely thickened sauce.
  • 8
    Return the chicken and bacon to the pan and turn the cutlets to coat and reheat for a minute. Serve with the sauce over the top, with a sprinkling of parsley
