The mise en place

What you’ll need

Everything for four generous plates.

Chicken & sauce

  • Boneless, skinless chicken cutlets1 1/2–2 lb
  • Mushrooms, sliced16 oz
  • Dry Marsala wine3/4 cup
  • Chicken broth + Better Than Bouillon3/4 cup
  • All-purpose flour1/3 cup
  • Unsalted butter3 Tbsp
  • Olive oil, for cookingas needed

For the plate

  • Mashed potatoes4 portions
  • Green beans4 portions
  • Salt and black pepperto taste

A Better Than Bouillon base keeps the sauce savory without a full stock carton.

The short version

Make it happen

  1. 01

    Start the mash

    Simmer quartered potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain, mash with warm milk and 1 Tbsp butter, and keep cozy.

  2. 02

    Give chicken a golden coat

    Season cutlets, dredge lightly in flour, and brown in olive oil plus 1 Tbsp butter. Move to a plate.

  3. 03

    Build the pan sauce

    Brown mushrooms, add Marsala, and scrape up the good bits. Pour in the Better Than Bouillon broth and reduce until glossy.

  4. 04

    Bring it together

    Warm chicken in the sauce. Steam green beans until crisp-tender, then serve everything with the mashed potatoes.

Cook’s cue: Marsala should simmer, not boil hard. That’s how you keep the sauce silky.
