Succulent chicken cooked with Italian Marsala wine and a sweet glaze made with corn syrup, brown sugar, and molasses.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 slice onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 cups Marsala wine
  • 1.5 cups chicken stock
  • 5 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded flat
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until sizzling. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the pot and sauté over medium-high heat until mushrooms are golden brown, around 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Combine Marsala wine, chicken stock, brown sugar, lemon juice, molasses, and corn syrup with the mushrooms. Bring to a boil and simmer until liquid reduces by half, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Whisk cornstarch into cold water until smooth. Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the Marsala sauce while stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and butter, then sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Place the chicken breast at the center of each plate. Pour Marsala sauce over the chicken and top with fresh green onion for a delicious presentation.
