How to Make Chicken Marsala:
Prep Chicken: Remove the skin from the chicken thighs then coat them evenly with flour. Sauté Shallots: In a nonstick pan, heat butter, oil, finely chopped thyme, shallots, and plenty of freshly grated nutmeg. Cook Chicken: Brown the shallots and add the chicken. Brown on both sides, and when evenly browned, turn up the heat and mist with Marsala wine. Let the alcohol evaporate for about 1 minute, then lower the heat and cook the chicken for about 20 minutes. Let the wine evaporate completely, until it is almost entirely reduced. Serve Italian chicken marsala hot, garnished with fresh thyme and fresh cracked pepper on top, to enhance the flavor.
Storage Instructions:
This simple chicken marsala recipe can be kept in the refrigerator for a day. Reheat it over low heat before serving, and if the creaminess around the chicken is too dry, add a couple of tablespoons of water to soften it.
Variations:
Cream: You can add cream if you want to make the recipe even creamier. Skin-On Chicken Thighs: We recommend removing the skin, but you can keep it if you prefer. In this case, you do not need to add the flour. Yellow Onion: If you prefer a stronger taste, use yellow onions instead of shallots, which have a milder flavor. More Herbs: Instead of thyme, you can use marjoram, sage, or rosemary. It is better fresh so that the flavor will be more intense.
