Description

This Stuffed Chicken Marsala features juicy chicken breasts filled with a delightful mixture of cheeses and sun dried tomatoes, all topped with a creamy sauce. A fantastic option for a quick dinner that’s packed with flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken breast (4 chicken breasts)
  • 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 tbsp sun dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan (freshly grated)
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (quarter and sliced)
  • 8 oz bella mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup marsala cooking wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to preference)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling ingredients by patting the sun dried tomatoes dry and chopping them finely, then mince the garlic. Grate the cheeses and combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl.
  2. Mix the filling until well combined and divide it into four portions.
  3. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Use plastic wrap to cover the breasts and gently pound them to tenderize.
  4. Season the chicken on all sides with garlic parsley salt and paprika. Stuff each breast with one portion of the filling mixture.
  5. Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the chicken breasts to the oven and bake at 350°F for 10-20 minutes until juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cooking time may vary based on breast size and thickness.
  7. In a separate pan, sauté the onions for a few minutes, add the mushrooms, and cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are soft, around 6-8 minutes.
  8. Stir in one tablespoon of flour and cook until no white remains.
  9. Gradually whisk in the cooking wine and deglaze the pan. Add the broth and heavy cream, bringing it to a light boil. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes, and season to taste with salt.
  10. After baking, pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with your favorite side!

Notes

Feel free to customize the filling with additional herbs or veggies.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked properly.
Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or pasta for a complete meal.
