Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken tenders in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are fully coated. Shake off any excess. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
7 mins

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the pan is shimmering. (2 minutes)

03

Step
0 mins

Add the chicken tenders to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. (8 minutes)

04

Step
2 mins

Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce slightly, about 1-2 minutes. (3 minutes)

05

Step
10 mins

Add the chicken stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer. (2 minutes)

06

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture into the skillet and stir to combine. (1 minute)

07

Step

Return the chicken to the skillet and nestle it into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is heated through. (7 minutes)

08

Step

Serve immediately over your choice of rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs instead of tenders. Increase cooking time accordingly.
If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with a dry sherry or Madeira wine.
Adjust the amount of Dijon mustard to your liking. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
To thicken the sauce further, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add the slurry to the sauce and simmer until thickened.

    I didn't have Marsala wine, so I used dry sherry, and it still turned out delicious.

    I used chicken thighs and it was so flavorful and moist. Will definitely make again.

    This was so easy to make on a busy weeknight! The sauce was incredible.

  • Jovani Kozey

    The sauce was a little thin for my taste, so I added a cornstarch slurry, and it thickened up perfectly.
