What is Instant Pot Chicken Marsala-20 minutes ?
Like mentioned earlier , This is an Italian Classic made with the Marsala wine. A wine with nutty , brown sugar flavour, with dried fruit notes.
It can range from dry to sweet. Marsala wine adds the flavour to the chicken cutlets which are lightly coated in flour and then cooked to perfection. The sauce is made with mushrooms and garlic and earthy spices that make the recipe – “to die for”.
When the recipe is made in the Instant pot or Pressure cooker , you reduce the cooking time. Locking in all the flavours and making it super easy yet delicious.

-
Chicken Breast – Traditionally Chicken breasts fillets are used in Chicken marsala preparation. However, incase you prefer to use Chicken thighs or bone in Chicken you can always use the same. I have made the Instant pot Chicken Marsala with Chicken Breasts . Antibiotic free and no added hormone too !
-
Marsala wine – Marsala is a Brandy fortified Wine. Adds a deep flavour to many dishes Savoury and Sweet alike .The best Instant pot Chicken Marsala as the name suggests is made with sweet marsala Wine. Just in case you do not have a bottle you can use Dry Sherry , Port Wine and substitute also makes a luscious Sauce for the Instant pot Chicken Marsala.
-
Onions – Red onions chopped fine adds a hint of sweetness to the creamy Sauce . You can use yellow onions, shallots or any from your pantry .
-
Mushrooms – We love them , but we also know that they are one of the most polarising foods of all time. The Earthy Umami added by mushrooms make the Chicken marsala a delicacy. however , I do have many friends who totally dislike Mushrooms in any recipe. So make it without . Traditionally Mushrooms are a must , but at times you entertain and make food with love for those who matter most. You could use either Baby Bella , Crimini, White, upto you.
-
Gluten Free Flour – Flour is used to coat the seasoned Chicken Cutlets . The cutlets are then seared to get a nice colour and texture. This step enhances the flavours and makes the Instant Pot Chicken Marsala a recipe to savour .If you have been following my journey then you know by now that I have a 19 year old who is Gluten intolerant. I either use corn starch / tapioca starch Instead of All Purpose flour to generously coat the Chicken . Incase you have a family member or a friend do remember to use a Gluten free Flour for coating . Remember this is an important step. It also helps to thicken the Sauce.
-
Stock – I prefer to always use stock as the flavours are significantly flavour, colour when used instead of water. I make even Mac and Cheese using Stock (homemade/store bought). So go ahead and use Stock to make your recipes even more richer with stock .
-
Garlic – Minced garlic is what I prefer to use. I like the Soft flavours of fresh garlic when compared with the store bought dried flakes or Garlic powder.
-
All purpose Seasoning– One of my favourite seasoning is the All purpose Seasoning. It adds a lot of flavour and depth to the Instant Pot Chicken Marsala. You can skip it and Use the regular Salt and pepper too.
-
Butter / Oil- Butter or Oil is used to get a nice golden brown colour on the Chicken Cutlets. Fat just speeds up the browning and seals in the juices while making the exterior crispy.

My instant pot is acting up, will try your recipe on the stove top, how long should I cook the chicken thighs?
Hey ! Sorry for the late reply. Incase you are using boneless Chicken Thighs cook them for 15 mins ( flip halfway on 7 minutes ) this will give you juicier meat. Remove them in a glass bowl and cover them. To the same pan add the onions, mushrooms and garlic and the rest of the ingredients (wine ,stock ) and sauté. Once these are cooked well add the chicken back . Close the lid and cook for another 10 to get a creamier sauce and juicy chicken . Do let me know the results.
