The key here is to use flavor-packed ingredients like garlic, onions, and mushrooms. Allowing them to simmer, before adding in the marsala, gives them a chance to tenderize and soak up the juicy drippings from the chicken.

A bit of coconut milk will also help to thicken the juices into a creamy sauce. Spoon it over your dish to give your meal an elegant flare. Then, top it off with a bit of chopped parsley to marry all the flavors together.

Helpful Tips To Get You Started:

• Pound your chicken breasts. To ensure the chicken breasts are even in thickness, pound them after slicing. This will help tenderize the meat so that it doesn’t dry out when cooking.
• Avoid overcrowding the pan. When searing the chicken, it’s important to have them cook evenly in a single layer. You may need to cook the chicken in batches.
• Sub out the wine. While marsala wine lends a distinct flavor to this dish, balsamic vinegar can achieve a similar effect – if you’re avoiding wine.
