If you're looking for delicious one-pan weeknight recipes, you should try this mind-blowing Keto marsala. This recipe is made with tender chicken breast and a unique wine sauce. Perfect for an easy and delicious dinner you can enjoy with your family! We used dry Marsala wine for the sauce, but other types would work too. We also added a small amount of fresh basil, which can be replaced with some fresh oregano or parsley. Serve this fantastic Italian dish with your favorite sides, and enjoy!

What is Marsala wine?

Marsala wine is a type of fortified Italian wine widely used in Italian (especially Sicilian) cooking. It's commonly used to create rich, caramelized sauces and elevate the flavors of various dishes. There are various types of Marsala wine – red, white, sweet, and dry.

Serving suggestions

This dish would pair perfectly with oven-roasted green beans, oven-roasted vegetables with a good drizzle of olive oil, cauliflower rice, or with your favorite low-carb pasta.

    Be careful. The chicken should be removed from the pan between steps two and three. It is returned to the pan at step 5 which is noted in the instructions but the instructions fail to tell you to set the chicken aside when that should be done.
