Top Tips
- Pound chicken to even thickness - Uneven chicken breasts cook at different rates, so pound them to about ½ inch thick for consistent doneness and better sauce coverage.
- Don't skip deglazing the pan - Those browned bits stuck to the pan after searing chicken are pure flavor gold, so scrape them up with the Marsala wine.
- Use dry Marsala, not sweet - Dry Marsala wine creates the proper balance in the sauce, while sweet Marsala makes everything cloying and dessert-like.
- Finish with butter off the heat - Swirling cold butter into the finished sauce at the end creates a glossy, restaurant-quality finish that just stirring in hot butter can't achieve.
