Dump-and-Bake Chicken Marsala Recipe
Just 5 minutes of prep for this easy dump-and-bake chicken marsala recipe!
Servings 4 - 6 people
Calories 228.6kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets (thinly sliced chicken breast)
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup, not diluted
- ½ cup dry Marsala wine
- 2 teaspoons minced or pressed fresh garlic
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- For garnish: chopped fresh parsley, basil, or thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a large, shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle mushrooms on top.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together condensed soup, Marsala wine, garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Pour sauce over chicken.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F). The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs just before serving.
Notes
- Can't find chicken cutlets or thinly-sliced chicken breasts at the store? Buy regular chicken breasts, slice them in half lengthwise, and then pound them to an even ¼-inch thickness.
- I prefer sliced "baby bella" mushrooms for this recipe, but white mushrooms will also work.
- The total baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of your chicken, as well as the type of dish that you use. As a result, a meat thermometer is the best way to know when your chicken is cooked perfectly. It's done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, so don't overcook the chicken or it will come out tough or dry.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, thyme, or basil for a bright, flavorful finishing touch.
- Cooking Just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half and bake the chicken in an 8-inch or 9-inch square dish.
- Don't have any Marsala wine? You can substitute with an equal amount of sherry, brandy or dry white wine. For an alcohol-free version, use chicken broth.
- For a truly creamy Chicken Marsala recipe, add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce after the dish is done baking.
