If you are fan of this Stuffed Chicken Marsala, you’ll love Honey Lime Garlic Chicken, Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Mushrooms, and Three Cheese Balsamic Stuffed Chicken. There’s a big fat fusion of flavors happening right here right now and I’m SO EXCITED about it. Good ole’ chicken marsala meets Italian stuffed chicken breast and it is so darn good. If you thought you liked chicken marsala before, you’re going to go nuts for this version. An extra 5-10 minutes is all it takes to transform a classic into the best weeknight meal you’ve had in ages. I feel like from this day forward we should just all agree that chicken marsala should always be stuffed. Everybody on board?? Excellent.
Why This Recipe Works
Stuffing the chicken — This chicken marsala dish comes across elegant and sophisticated, even though it is incredibly easy to make with simple ingredients. If you haven’t stuffed chicken before – don’t fret! – it’s a walk in the park. Simply cut a horizontal slit in one side of the chicken, being sure not to cut quite all the way through the other side, to make a pocket. Cheese, cheese, cheese — This creamy chicken marsala uses both mozzarella and parmesan cheese and the combo is pure heaven! Don’t be afraid to add extra cheese if that’s your thing — because it’s my thing and I totally get it! I even like to throw some finely grated parmesan cheese on top at the end for that last little punch of YUM. Sauce — The key here is to not clean that pan after searing the chicken. You want to deglaze (get off from the bottom of) the pan with the marsala cooking wine, garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper, and heavy cream. The browned “bits” leftover from cooking the chicken mix into the sauce and give it extra flavor. Sun dried tomatoes — Tasty and tart, sun dried tomatoes really elevate this easy chicken marsala into a whole other world. You can find them jarred and are so easy to finely chop and add to just about any recipe.

I love serving this creamy chicken marsala over white or brown rice. Or use riced cauliflower if you want a low-carb option. Place one stuffed chicken breast on a scoop of rice and then cover in more of that delicious marsala sauce. This stuffed chicken is also really good over pasta — wide egg noodles are my favorite choice, but any kind of pasta will do. This chicken is great with a side of mashed potatoes. Add extra marsala sauce on top of the mashed potatoes, you won’t regret it. Serve the chicken in a bowl with lots of sauce, a side salad, and rolls or crusty French bread for dipping up all that yummy sauce.
Expert Tips
I use sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and lightly rinsed. If you can’t find them julienned you can buy sun dried tomato halves and thinly slice them yourself. For best results, use chicken that’s all about the same size to ensure even cooking. If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, cook as directed, then add the sauce and chicken to a baking dish before baking in the oven.
