How to Make Keto Chicken Marsala

Thanks to this easy to follow recipe, you’ll be whipping up your own homemade (and authentic!) keto chicken marsala in no time at all:

  • Season the chicken well. Make sure each chicken breast is seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare the cooking skillet. Add the butter and one tablespoon of olive oil to a large cooking skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Cook the chicken. Add the chicken and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet when done cooking.
  • Add the remaining olive oil to the cooking skillet.
  • Cook the onion and garlic. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes. Next, add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Cook the mushrooms. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes (or until tender).
  • Add the wine. Add the Marsala wine and boil for 3-4 minutes.
  • Finish the sauce. Use a large measuring glass to combine the chicken broth and heavy cream and then pour the mixture into the cooking skillet.
  • Season. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Simmer. Add the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over top. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
  • Serve. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
