Delicious Chicken Marsala Bread Boats

These Chicken Marsala Bread Boats feature juicy chicken cooked in a savory Marsala sauce, served in hollowed-out bread. The dish takes about 45 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
4 small bread rolls or baguette sections
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prep the Chicken: Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes.
Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add thyme, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Prepare the Bread Boats: While the sauce is cooking, hollow out the bread rolls or baguette sections to create boats.
Assemble: Fill each bread boat with the chicken Marsala mixture and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve: Enjoy the Chicken Marsala Bread Boats warm, perfect for dipping or enjoying as a hearty meal.
