Chicken Marsala with Mashed Cauliflower Recipe

Chicken Marsala with Mashed Cauliflower Recipe

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 large mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 shallots
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half, sliced into two thin halves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup Marsala wine, or more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 2 1/2 ounces garlic and herb cheese spread (such as Boursin®)
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Cook and stir until mushrooms begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Push to the side of the skillet.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken halves into the skillet and brown, about 2 minutes per side. Scoop mushrooms, shallots, and garlic over the chicken. Slowly pour in Marsala wine. Add oregano and basil. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through and wine is reduced by about half, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  3. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and peeled garlic glove. Simmer until tender and a fork pushes through the cauliflower easily, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain. Place cauliflower and garlic into a large bowl. Mash with a fork. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve the chicken Marsala on top of the mashed cauliflower and you are ready to eat!
