Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package refrigerated breadstick dough
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add chicken pieces, salt, pepper, and thyme, cooking until the chicken is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add Marsala and Broth: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and thickens.
- Prepare Breadsticks: Preheat the oven according to breadstick package instructions. Roll out the breadstick dough and cut each strip into smaller pieces.
- Assemble Bites: Take a piece of chicken and wrap it in a piece of breadstick dough. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all chicken pieces are wrapped.
- Bake: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wrapped bites. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden brown.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm with remaining Marsala sauce for dipping.
