DAILY CHALLENGE RESPONSE

One of my favorite dishes is chicken marsala. I admit I usually let someone else do the cooking, and I often find myself disappointed. So, I decided to make my own version. I’ve tried several variations to suit my palette. Here is the latest recipe I’m going to try.

Air Fryer Chicken Marsala Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup Marsala wine
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Special equipment needed:
– Air fryer

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil.
3. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
4. Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and spray with cooking spray.
5. Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Marsala sauce. In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
7. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic to the skillet and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
8. Pour in the chicken broth and Marsala wine and bring to a simmer.
9. Cook the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until it has reduced by half.
10. Stir in the heavy cream and parsley and cook for 2-3 minutes.
11. Serve the chicken with the Marsala sauce spooned over the top.
