I found the marsala recipe written on a piece of paper hidden in one of my grandmother's old cookbooks. I added a twist to it by stuffing the chicken rather than pounding it flat.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A tasty way to reinvent chicken marsala. Juicy chicken breasts are stuffed with earthy mushrooms. Dredging the chicken breasts in flour helps create a nice crust and also slightly thickens the sauce. They're simmered in a marsala sauce that's savory, slightly smoky, and a little creamy. An easy and elegant stuffed chicken dinner.

How To Make stuffed chicken marsala

Test Kitchen Tips

We browned two chicken breasts at a time because we did not want to crowd the pan.

Step 1

Butterfly the chicken breasts. Season the inside of the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Add mushrooms to a skillet and saute 2-3 minutes.
Step 3

Remove from the heat and stuff the chicken with mushrooms.
Step 4

Close the edge with toothpicks.
Step 5

Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 6

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to the skillet. Cook 4 - 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Step 7

Remove the chicken to a plate.
Step 8

Add wine, lemon juice, and chicken broth to the skillet. Scrape up brown bits. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 9

Return chicken to the skillet.
Step 10

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for 2-3 mins or until warmed through.
