Marsala is Italy's most famous version of fortified wine and it makes an outstanding sweet sauce when used in this easy baked chicken marsala recipe. Prep time is shorter than you'd expect for this classic crowd-pleaser, giving you plenty of time to prepare your sides.

Cook Mode (Keep screen awake)

1 pound chicken breasts
3/4 cup crushed croutons, preferably Italian flavored
1 cup sliced mushrooms, such as cremini or baby bella
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Marsala wine

Put thawed chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag and pound chicken into thinner portions with a mallet or rolling pin.
Next, crush the croutons in another zip-top bag until they are fairly fine.
Melt a 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan with the crushed garlic clove. Then, dredge the chicken through the butter and place in the zip-top bag with the crushed croutons to thoroughly coat the chicken.
Place the crouton crusted chicken into a shallow baking dish. Melt a little more butter and add a touch of olive oil to sauté the mushrooms and add the marsala wine once the mushrooms get soft.
Let it all simmer for another minute or so.
Pour the sautéed mushroom mixture over the coated chicken breasts.
Add salt and pepper and a dash of paprika if you like, and then bake for 40 minutes at 350 F.
Top with fresh parsley.
