I recently found this recipe for Chicken Marsala that is compliant with the “21 Day Fix” clean eating program. I found it to be full of flavor, easy to prepare, and a dish I would make again.Chicken Marsala - "21 Day Fix" Recipe / The Grateful Girl Cooks!
This recipe features sautéed baby portabella mushrooms, with shallots and garlic, served alongside pan browned chicken breast slices, in a light, slightly creamy sauce. Here’s how you make it:

Melt a small amount of coconut oil in a medium skillet on low to medium heat. Add sliced baby portabella mushrooms and sauté them for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once mushrooms are cooked, add Marsala wine, chopped shallots and minced garlic. Let this mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, until the wine reduces quite a bit. Stir the mixture occasionally.

While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the chicken. Slice chicken breasts thinly, then place chicken strips in a large bowl or ziploc bag, along with wheat flour and spices. Mix well, to fully coat the pieces of chicken.

This is what the chicken pieces will look like, once coated.

Shake off excess flour. In a large skillet, melt coconut oil and heat on medium. Once skillet is hot, add chicken pieces, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the chicken is lightly browned on both sides.

Once the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, add the mushrooms and sauce.  Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon wheat flour and stir (nominal amount added to thicken sauce).

Add chicken broth and almond milk. Stir again, to fully combine. Let this simmer until fully heated through.

If following the 21 Day Fix Plan, the counts for this chicken dish is 1 Red, 1 Green, and 1 tsp. (The count for the wheat flour divided between 4 servings is so nominal it is not included).

I served the chicken with sides of green salad and quinoa. If NOT following this eating plan, just go right ahead and enjoy this dish! It really is quite tasty.

2 Comments on Chicken Marsala – “21 Day Fix” Recipe

  1. Can I substitute almond milk for silk milk and the coconut oil for extra virgin olive oil also ? just wondering, where is the sodium and cholesterol coming from ? I know the chicken broth has some in it. Thank you

    • Good morning, Patty! Thank you for taking the time to write. Yes, I am sure it would not hurt to substitute the ingredients you mentioned. It would most likely change the calorie count slightly, but pretty sure it wouldn’t impact the taste too much. Since the nutritional elements are calculated automatically for the recipe once I input the ingredients when creating a blog post, I am not sure exactly where the sodium and cholesterol is coming from. I hope you have a great day.
