Low Carb Chicken Marsala Recipe for a Delicious Dinner

This low carb chicken Marsala recipe uses less flour, no butter, just a little oil, and a delicious dry Marsala wine.  If you were to order Chicken Marsala at your favorite restaurant, you are pretty much guaranteed a dinner high in fat, carbs and calories.

But not with this Marsala recipe! This Low Carb Chicken Marsala recipe proves you don’t need a lot of fats and carbs to make a tasty dinner everyone will enjoy.

raw chicken and mushrooms with marsala wine

Rule #1 of the best tasting chicken Marsala –  buy a bottle of real Marsala wine and not the little bottle of “cooking” wine you see at the grocery store.

Rule #2 – buy dry Marsala wine for this chicken recipe. Less sugar and carbs and really tasty. The brand we love to use is Gambarelli and Davitto – Private Stock – California Marsala.  This bottle will last a long time and is only around $5.00 – $6.00 per bottle. You do not need to refrigerate this wine. Leave the wine sit out after using and should last a couple of years.

Rule # 3 –  Use thin chicken breasts. Pound the chicken for thinner breasts that don’t take as long to cook.

lightly brush the chicken with flour

The fresh chicken gets just a “light dusting” of flour before cooking. You will never miss the rest of the flour!

 

pouring marsala wine over chicken

Pour one cup of dry Marsala wine over chicken. Always garnish your Chicken Marsala dish with a little dried parsley.

 




If you are watching weight and calories, this is a great dinner to cook. Serve with a side of sauteed fresh lemony spinach.
