For a crowd-pleasing dinner, try this succulent chicken marsala bursting with the mellow flavors of mushroom and wine.
Young and old alike will love this hearty chicken dinner. We use boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded thin, then sauté them in a cast-iron skillet. The remaining ingredients cook in the chicken fat, building a hearty meal in a single pan.
Be sure to have your favorite mushrooms on hand for this dish. We used button mushrooms, but you can use whichever variety you prefer—cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all very good choices. Next, add a chopped shallot and cook another minute to soften.
Add marsala wine and chicken broth to the pan. You can use whatever chicken broth you have on hand, but we highly recommend making your own to ensure there is no salt added. If you need inspiration, check out our homemade chicken broth recipe in chapter 7 of The Paleo Diet Cookbook. Bring the liquids to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Reheat the chicken by adding it back to the pan. Cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to marry, then sprinkle with dried oregano and serve.
