Chicken Marsala
This is a more hands-off approach to the Italian classic. Crispy chicken is topped with a savory sauce full of umami from the mushrooms with rich flavor due to a reduction of marsala and stock. The rich flavors are rounded out with bright fresh green onions and tarragon.

Calories: 561kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs bone in, skin on, 8 thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound mushrooms sliced
- 8 green onions sliced
- 4 large cloves of garlic chopped fine
- 1/2 cup Marsala omit if desired but a splash of sherry vinegar can brighten the dish up at the end
- 1/2 cup chicken stock double if omitting the Marsala
- 1 teaspoon tarragon chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter omit for dairy-free
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ĀŗF and oil a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
- Season the chicken well with salt and pepper. Place it skin side up on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 425ĀŗF for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is brown and crisp (it should measure 165ĀŗF when the internal temperature is taken).
- After 20 minutes of baking the chicken, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and toss with any drippings. Return to the oven and continue to bake.
- When the chicken is crispy, remove from oven and transfer chicken to a plate. Add the marsala and stock and stir to scrape up any browned bits. Transfer to a pan, add the green onions, and heat over high heat until liquid is reduced by half and the alcohol is gone. Whisk in butter off heat and pour the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.
