Stuffed Chicken Marsala Recipe - Easy Chicken Recipes (2024)

• ▢ 4 small chicken breasts
• ▢ 4 ounces fontina cut into four pieces
• ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ▢ 2 tablespoons butter divided
• ▢ 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
• ▢ ½ small onion sliced
• ▢ ¾ cup marsala wine
• ▢ ½ cup chicken stock
• ▢ ¼ cup heavy cream
• ▢ Mashed potatoes or pasta for serving

• Use a sharp paring knife to cut a small slit in the thickest part of the top of the chicken, and create a pocket inside the chicken, but be sure not to cut all the way through to the sides of the chicken. Stuff the chicken with the fontina.

• Heat a large skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. Season chicken on both sides with plenty of salt and pepper. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken. Sear until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Flip over and sear on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

• Garnish with parsley for an extra pop of color.
