Olive Garden Chicken Masala

Chicken Marsala is so easy to make, and you come of cooking like a professional chef with this dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken half breasts
  • 1/4 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 4 tablespoons oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium thinly sliced onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine

Instructions

Combine flour, salt, pepper, and oregano and blend well. Heat the oil and butter in a skillet until bubbling lightly. Dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off the excess. Cook the chicken on medium heat for about 2 minutes on the first side, until lightly brown. As you turn the breasts to the second side to cook, add the mushrooms around the chicken pieces. Cook about 2 more minutes, until lightly browned on the second side. Stir the mushrooms and optional onions. When the second side is lightly browned, add the wine around the pieces, cover the pan and simmer for about 10 minutes.

    Olive Garden’s sauce seems to have some cream and a touch of Kikkoman soy sauce. Do any former employees know what is really in the sauce?

    Does anyone have the recipe for chicken and rice from the Cracker Barrel? I just retired and am now trying to cook for my wife. We love their chicken and rice.

    I have used this recipe but changed it a bit and it is great, when doing the recipe when it gets to the marsala wine add brown gravy mix, first prepare your brown gravy and add your wine and let it cook through, i make this all the time and yet had no complaints, i also always serve it with angel hair pasta.

      It is wonderful when your family enjoys a recipe. I have a short list of my “no fail” and “crowd pleasing” recipes. Chicken Marsala is one of them.

    I asked the manager at a Olive garden and she said they put molasses in their Marsala sauce…I don’t know how much.

    That’s an interesting tip, I never would have thought of that. ~Stephanie

    This is a great recipe. BUT please note that no onions are included in the list of ingredients, nor in the instructions for cooking. Should they be sauteed first? Please check this out. Thanks!
    Leilani, checked it out, and made the modification. Thanks! ~Stephanie

    I actually got this recipe on here a few years ago and have made it alot. It’s fantastic!! I’ve used regular white button mushrooms, which are great. But I definately prefer the baby bella mushrooms. It’s so good. I would love the recipe for the stuffed marsala also, if anyone can come up with that one!!

    does anyone know how to make the Stuffed version of this? the one with the cheeses in between two chicken pieces?

  • Sue Minick

    Just finished making this for dinner and it was very good….a keeper. I used only two chicken breasts and right after I took the chicken breasts out I thickened the sauce with a smidge of cornstarch in water. I put the breasts over linguine and poured the sauce over that……looked great and tasted great. I used baby bella mushrooms for this.

  • beth

    What kind of fresh mushrooms do you use in this recipe?

  • Tracy

    I made this the other night and it was a big hit with my husband and two kids. It was easy and quick to make.

      You can use the regular white button mushrooms you find in the grocery store on these.
