I recently found a recipe on Pinterest for Chicken Marsala and it looked just scrumptious, so I had to try it. I LOVE Chicken Marsala and have looked high and low for a good recipe for it. Sadly, I have never found one.
Well, I did that day. I put it on my monthly menu for a day when I thought I would have the most time to dedicate to it...though it was not a hard recipe to make...and that day was TODAY!! I have to laugh because I also decided to make an apple crisp today...so I stood at my island coring, peeling, and slicing apples...mixing the topping and the apple mixture.....and then preparing the Chicken Marsala which I paired with rolls and mashed potatoes. I am pooped. Luckily for me, I destroy the kitchen making these yummy treats and Matt will, later, go behind me and clean it all up.
So, my back is weary, my shoulders are weary, I am weary and we have a movie to watch. Without all the pomp and circumstance, I present the recipes for these two dishes. *Let me just say...that was the best apple crisp I have ever had...not too sweet....nice and crunchy!!

Chicken Marsala
Ingredients
- 4 small skinless, boneless, chicken breasts, pounded thin
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour or corn starch for gluten-free
- up to 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil
- 8 ounces container of mushroom, sliced and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- Place chicken in large ziplock bag and pound each one flat using a meat tenderizer/mallet (I use my rolling pin) until they are about a quarter inch thick. Season a good amount of salt and pepper on both sides of each piece. Place some flour on a plate and and dredge each piece of chicken in it.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat and when the oil is hot fry each piece of chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown (this may require you to do this in 2 batches). Remove chicken and place them on your serving platter covering them with foil. Do not allow there to be too much oil.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add butter and mushrooms. Saute mushrooms for 4-5 minutes making sure to season them with salt and pepper lightly. Make sure you get all those nice crispy chicken pieces back. Add marsala wine, white wine, and chicken stock allowing the liquid to reduce slightly. Add chicken back in pan to allow some of the crusty of the chicken to thicken sauce a bit and chicken to get some of the flavoring.
- Serve by placing chicken on plate and pouring mushrooms and sauce over chicken and serve. Enjoy!
Apple Crisp
Ingredients
10 cups all-purpose apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I used about 6 large granny smiths)
juice from one lemon
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks butter, melted
half cup or so of chopped pecans
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degree C).
2.To prevent the apples from going brown, as you slice them...squeeze lemon juice on the apples. Place the sliced apples in a bowl and mix the white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour and ground cinnamon together, and sprinkle over apples. Pour apple mixture into 9x13 pan.
3.Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pecans and melted butter together. Crumble evenly over the apple mixture.
4.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 45 minutes.
