Chicken Preparation
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for consistent cooking. Dredging lightly in flour helps to create a golden crust and aids in sauce thickening.
Marsala Wine Selection
Use a good quality dry Marsala wine for the most authentic flavor. Sweet Marsala can be used but will result in a sweeter sauce, adjust accordingly.
Mushroom Sautéing
Sauté the mushrooms until they are nicely browned and have released their moisture. This intensifies their flavor and prevents them from becoming soggy in the sauce.
Sauce Reduction
Allow the Marsala sauce to reduce slightly until it thickens to a desirable consistency. This concentrates the flavors and creates a richer sauce.
