Easy Chicken Lombardy
Hi guys! Natasha from Salt & Lavender here with my monthly guest post. Rumor has it that Chicken Lombardy was a dish served at the Olive Garden restaurant. It was so popular that it’s popped up online and there’s many different versions. This “copycat” version is very simple to make, doesn’t use a ton of ingredients, and is sure to be a family favorite! I make this dish super easy by using an oven-proof skillet. That way, you start the recipe on the stove and finish it in the oven without any hassle.
What is Marsala?
Marsala is a fortified wine that gives this dish its signature flavor. You should be able to buy it anywhere liquor is sold. It’s an amazing addition to many dishes. If you don’t have marsala, you could try substituting sherry, but the dish won’t taste quite the same.
Chicken Lombardy Ingredients:
Chicken breasts (I cut them in half lengthwise so they cook faster and stay tender). Feel free to use chicken thighs if you prefer! Just always make sure the chicken is cooked through to 165F with an instant read thermometer. Garlic powder – makes the chicken extra tasty! Butter – gives the sauce delicious richness Olive oil – helps the butter not burn when cooking the chicken Cremini mushrooms – feel free to sub with white mushrooms Marsala wine – this is the star of the dish! Chicken broth – adds more flavor to the sauce Shredded mozzarella – melty perfection Scallions (green onions) – the finishing touch
How to Make Chicken Lombardy:
Try pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice. If you want something a bit lighter, serve it with steamed veggies or a side salad like this Asparagus Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette.
