Easy Creamy Chicken Marsala Recipe. Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.
Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.
The listed pan and basket capacity, cook times, and thermometer endpoint are for four servings.
Ingredients are scaled; keep food thickness, spacing, settings and safe endpoints fixed. Timings assume the four-serving batch and specified shortcuts. More food can require additional batches.

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cup sliced mushrooms
- ½ cup Marsala wine
- ½ cup chicken broth

Before you start
- Lidded skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Instant-read thermometer
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Chicken
Season the chicken to taste. Warm half the oil and all the butter in a large skillet over medium. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes on each side until cooked. Keep it on a plate under foil.
- Mushrooms
Add the remaining oil and sauté mushrooms 2–3 minutes. Pour in Marsala; bring to a boil and reduce for 3–4 minutes.
- Sauce
Stir in broth, cream, mustard and garlic powder. Bring back to a boil, lower the heat, cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Finish
Return chicken for 1–2 minutes to warm it in the sauce. Serve with optional parsley.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: 506 kcal; protein: 27.0 g; total carbs: 8.0 g; fiber: 0.3 g; net carbs: 7.7 g
Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.
Listed allergens: milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 4 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Ioana Diaconu from LowCarbSpark.com. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- The publisher’s headline time does not cover every step in the method; no complete elapsed-time estimate is reported.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
