I love taking classic recipes and adapting them to be budget-friendly, and chicken Marsala is my latest endeavor. This Chicken Marsala recipe is so rich and flavorful, you won’t believe it didn’t come from your favorite Italian restaurant. Your family will be begging for this easy dinner recipe on repeat because it’s just that good!
What is Chicken Marsala?
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish, made from thinly sliced and pounded chicken breasts coated in a wine-based sauce enriched with butter and mushrooms. The mushrooms add what’s known as umami taste, a meaty, savory flavor that makes this dish so craveable.
Chicken Marsala Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make chicken marsala:
- Vegetable Oil: Helps to cook the chicken and vegetables without burning them. Canola or olive oil also works well here.
- Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the classic choice for this recipe. Slice them in half and pound them to create what’s known as escalopes.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and Italian herb seasoning add classic Italian flavor to the chicken.
- Flour: All-purpose flour creates wonderful browning on the chicken breasts and helps to thicken up the sauce.
- Mushrooms: We highly suggest using baby bella mushrooms because they have a rich flavor and add earthiness to the dish.
- White Onion: Cooked white onion adds a touch of sweetness. Yellow or sweet onion will also work, so use whatever you have on hand.
- Chicken Broth: Forms the savory base of the sauce. We used bouillon because it’s super budget-friendly. Vegetable bouillon or broth is also fine.
- Marsala Cooking Wine: This has unique sweet, rich, and smoky notes and gives this chicken its signature flavor. Cooking wine is much more budget-friendly than straight Marsala wine since it is shelf-stable so none will go to waste!
- Butter: Salted butter enriches the sauce, making it glossy and rich.
- Italian Parsley: Adds a pop of color and freshness to this dish.
What can you use instead of Marsala wine for chicken Marsala?
Can’t find Marsala cooking wine? Try using ¼ cup balsamic vinegar and ¼ cup white grape juice instead. There are red and white marsala varieties out there, but the red kind (sweeter) is what’s typically used in Chicken Marsala. You can also use straight Marsala wine instead of cooking wine.

Does the alcohol cook off in Chicken Marsala?
The process of reducing the sauce will evaporate the alcohol in Marsala wine, but if you’re serving this to kids, you may want to use the balsamic/grape juice alternative.
