How To Make chicken marsala with a twist

• 
  Step 1
  Gather your ingredients.
• 
  Step 2
  Salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides.
• 
  Step 3
  Dust the chicken breasts with flour.
• 
  Step 4
  Shake off the excess, and allow the chicken to rest for ten minutes.
• 
  Step 5
  Dust the chicken a second time.
• 
  Step 6
  Add one tablespoon of butter, and the olive oil to a pan over medium-to-medium high heat.
• 
  Step 7
  When the butter and oil are melted and incorporated, add the chicken breasts.
• 
  Step 8
  Chef’s Note: If you’re not using clarified butter, then wait until the foaming subsides before adding the chicken. Non-clarified butter contains water, and we want that to simmer off, before adding the chicken. Clarified butter does not contain any water, so you can add the chicken as soon as the butter melts into the oil.
• 
  Step 9
  Sauté the chicken about five minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
• 
  Step 10
  Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and reserve.

  Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  Step 14
  Sauté until most of the moisture evaporates, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• 
  Step 15
  Add the Marsala wine.
• 
  Step 16
  Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits (fonds), and incorporate them back into the sauce.
• 
  Step 17
  Add the chicken back to the sauté pan.
• 
  Step 18
  Lower the heat to low, and cook for about 30 minutes.
• 
  Step 19
  Chef’s Note: After 30 minutes, the chicken should be nice and tender
• 
  Step 20
  Chef's Note: Remove the chicken, and place on a serving plate.
•

• 
  Step 22
  While the sauce in reducing add a bit of salt and pepper to season.
•
