Chicken Marsala

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Delicious and easy 21 Day Fix Instant Pot Chicken Marsala that’s gluten-free, grain free, Weight Watchers, and Paleo friendly!  This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with. 

Delicious and easy 21 Day Fix Chicken Marsala for the Instant Pot. Gluten free/dairy free and 21 Day Fix approved.

Confession #112 – I hate to be so dramatic, but life as I have known it for the past three years is officially over.

My toddler has given up his nap time.

And by nap time, I am referring to what we have been calling his “fake” nap where he would willingly go in the crib, not to sleep, but to entertain himself with various noises, songs, and crib gymnastics so mommy could get a break and a pinch of sanity.

Oh…and you know, work on this blog.

Of course he has been able to climb out of his crib for well over a year now, but I have “fixed this” by putting him in a backwards sleep sack and that has worked.

Until now.

I may be dealing with a future gymnast.  Because I watched him make his escape and he basically pulls himself up and then pommel horses himself over the side of the crib.

It’s actually quite impressive.

But I seriously could cry.

Anyway, it’s all the more reason to love recipes like this Instant Pot Chicken Marsala, which comes together so quickly and seriously tastes amazing, especially with a glass of wine.  Just sayin.

And although it’s a simple, one pot meal, I think it’s tasty enough for company or even a holiday meal.  Imagine?  Only one pot to clean for a fancy dinner?

What kind of Marsala Wine do I need for this Instant Pot Chicken Marsala?

I like a dry Marsala wine, which I can find at my local liquor store.  They also sell sweeter Marsala wines, but they are traditionally used for dessert.  If you are having trouble finding Marsala wine at your local wine store or grocery store (check near the vinegars), you can get it on Amazon .

Can I substitute Chicken Breasts for the Chicken Thighs?

You can…but I HIGHLY recommend the chicken thighs.  They give such an amazing flavor and richness to this dish.

I don’t have tapioca flour.  What else can I use?

I used tapioca flour to thicken my Marsala gravy, but you could use corn starch or whatever flour you have on hand.  I have also used arrowroot, gluten-free all purpose flour, and rice flour and they work very well.  Keep in mind tapioca and arrowroot are best for Paleo.

What should I serve this Chicken Marsala with?

My husband and kids had this over gluten free noodles, but I thought it was plenty filling with just a side of green beans. Because, you know, the wine.

Momma’s got to stay sane somehow, right?

Anyway, if you make this, let me know!  And if you have any tips for establishing a rest time routine for a toddler who strong point isn’t reasoning with his momma, please send them to me!

Or just send me more wine.

Enjoy!

Description

Delicious and easy 21 Day Fix Instant Pot Chicken Marsala that’s gluten-free, grain free, Weight Watchers, and Paleo friendly! 


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1–2 pounds of chicken thighs (or boneless tenderloins if you prefer)
  • 4 tsp butter or ghee
  • olive oil spray
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 3 T diced shallots
  • 3 cloves of garlic minced
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 3/4 cup of Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 T of tapioca starch, corn starch or rice flour (can sub whatever flour/thickener you have on hand)

Instructions

Instant Pot

  1. Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Turn Instant Pot to saute and wait for it to heat. Then spray inside of pot with olive oil spray. Melt 1 tsp of butter and brown chicken in batches. If you are short on time, you can skip this step.
  3. Remove chicken and melt another tsp of butter in pot. Saute mushrooms, shallots, and garlic for a few minutes before adding chicken back in, along with Marsala wine, stock, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  4. Lock IP cover and switch to manual. Set for ten minutes (or 8 minutes if using tenderloins).
  5. After cook time is finished, switch to quick release and allow all the steam to escape. Remove chicken and mushrooms, but leave juice in the pot, and turn on saute function again.
  6. Take 1/2 cup of the juice out and mix with 1 T of tapioca or corn starch and 2 tsp of butter. Whisk together well, then pour back into the pot with the rest of the liquid. Stir and heat until a thick gravy forms, about 5 minutes, gradually adding in more starch as needed. Adjust seasoning as desired.
  7. Mix chicken, mushrooms, and gravy together and serve with noodles, rice, potatoes and/or a side of green beans for a deliciously filling meal!

Stovetop

  1. Spray pan with olive oil spray and 1 tsp butter. Cook chicken on medium until cooked through, flipping once, then remove from pan.
  2. Melt another tsp of butter in pan. Saute mushrooms, shallots, and garlic for a few minutes.
  3. Add in Marsala wine, stock, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook until it begins to reduce.
  4. Then take 1/2 cup of the juice out and mix with 1 T of tapioca or corn starch and 2 tsp of butter. Whisk together well, then pour back into the pan with the rest of the liquid. Stir and cook over medium heat until a thick gravy forms, about 5 minutes, gradually adding in more starch as needed. Adjust seasoning as desired.
  5. Add chicken in at the end and warm through. Serve with noodles, rice, potatoes and/or a side of green beans for a deliciously filling meal!

          Michele Hudon, I’d like to know how much xanthan gum you settled on. I’m thinking of trying this recipe and am watching my carbs. I also read somewhere that thickeners aren’t supposed to go in until after pressure is released or it might burn/stick to bottom. Any thoughts on that? Thanks, Sharon.

        Just so you know, you changed the tsp of starch to T (Tablespoon) in the directions instead of changing it in the ingredients list. Inexperienced cooks might add the Tablespoon and ruin the gravy. So, you need to change it in the list of ingredients and the 2 spots mentioned in the directions. Can’t wait to try this!

            She meant there are three locations where you mentioned tablespoons.
            One in the ingredients list, and two spots in the directions, specifically step 6 and step 8 (you mentioned T (which is tablespoon).

          • Nancylynn says

            January 11, 2018 at 3:19 pm

            Yes – 1-2 tablespoons are correct for this recipe.

    It’s time to get a “big boy” bed and gate for the door. And reward him when he stays in his bed or bedroom without fussing for 30 mins (at least!). You might consider turning his chest of drawers towards the wall, also. My brother was also a budding gymnast and figured out how to pull out the drawers of his chest and climb them. Until they fell over on him. No, he survived. Glad to say. I like my brother.

    Loving your site!

      It’s a sweet/dry Italian wine – but you can get the cooking version near the vinegar in your regular grocery store!

        Wines that are marketed a “cooking wine” are generally of poor quality and are loaded with sodium. Just use regular marsala that you’ll find in the wine section of the store. No need to rush to use the bottle of marsala either– it is a fortified wine and an open bottle can be stored in a cool, dark place. The flavor may fade a bit over time, but an open bottle can last over a year.

    Hi there- I’m seeing your blog for the first time, thanks to a recipe link on the Instant Pot Community Facebook page. So, how is your toddler’s quiet time going? When my two kids (16 mos. apart) stopped napping, I started Quiet Time. It was more for my sanity than their need for a rest. Every afternoon they had to stay in their bed or crib until the end of a cd stopped plaing. I put on quiet music like piano or soft jazz. They could look at books or play quietly…they didn’t have to sleep. Both knew that when the cd ended they could get up. It worked great and gave me a little bit of down time. I think it started their love of books and reading. Good luck!!

    Do you pound the chicken first or just put it in the pot whole? I’ve always pounded my chicken very thin when making cbicken marsala (or schnitzel). Would that affect the cooking time? Just got my IP yesterday and I’m learning…

    Hi there. I just made this and we’re an alcohol feee house. To make fake Marsala use 1/4 cup white grape juice or sweet dealcoholized wine, 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract, 2 tbsp sherry vinegar, and 2 tsp of melted honey. It works quite well to simulate the Marsala taste. Enjoy!

    This recipe looks delicious. However, I need to prepare this meal for 7 adults this weekend. I had planned on using 7 chicken breasts and probably double the vegetables. However, I’m unsure of how much Marsala and chicken stock to use and what the cooking time under pressure should be. What are your suggestions?
    I’m cooking this with 2 friends who also have instant pots and are afraid to use them. I’m supposed to help them get over their fears so I’d really like it to work. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

      I did this tonight. I used frozen chicken thighs and brown rice. One cup of rice with one cup of water pot in pot, poultry setting (15 minutes) natural release. Came out perfect.

    I made this tonight very good flavour. I used boneless chicken breast and it was a bit dry so will try the chicken thighs next time. I didn’t have Marsala wine and substituted it for a Zinfandel I had. I will definitely be making this again.

    I just received an Instant Pot for Christmas and this is going to be my first recipe! One question… when you say “Lock IP cover and switch to manual”… what is manual on the Instant Pot? I can’t find a “manual” function on the Instant Pot. Thanks!

      If you have a newer model, yours might say “Pressure Cook” – do you see that? And YAY! You are going to love it!

    I would like to make this with veal. Suggestions on cooking time? I would imagine less than for chicken since the veal cutlets are much thinner. Thank you

      I use the Earth’s Balance Dairy and Soy free butter, but you could sub olive oil if you would rather use that.

    I just made for the first time. Followed instructions exactly. I used bone in thighs. When we cut into the chicken, it did not look done at all. Fearing we might get sick if we ate it, i put the chicken in the microwave for a few minutes. The flavor was good and i’d Like to use the recipe again, but wonder what i did wrong that the chicken did not get done??

      I think bone-in thighs might take longer, then! I have always used boneless for this.

    Your recipe looks good and I’m going to try it tonight along with a sprinkle of thyme, then a little fresh lemon juice and a splash of cream added in the end. I would like to mention that your ‘print’ function needs some work. It currently is just not user friendly with gigantic images on every page. Your simple recipe would have taken 4 printed pages as is. I ended up copying and pasting the text into a word doc for printing, For convenience, please consider re-configuring this.

        Help! I made this and it was a disaster-it was dried out and burnt with no sauce whatsoever . I definitely used 10 minutes. I do have a Power Cooker XL, not an Instant Pot. Was this the problem? It looks so good, I’d like to try again.

      Yes, but they might get a little soggy. I usually cook my green beans for less time.

      Hi! No – you can keep the cook time the same, but I would do a ten minute natural release!

    you managed to take a 20 minute recipe and turn it into a 20 minute stew? do not understand how an instant pot improves this meal in any way. there is also no meal that requires a story
    }. it made no sense when my wife showed it to me, i tmade no sense as I made it, and it certainly made no sense when I ate it.

            It was one of the first few recipes I tried and just being able to walk away and not babysit the stove, yet turn out a very impressive meal that even my children loved was wonderful! We decorated our Christmas tree afterwards and I look forward to the leftovers tonight!

    Made this earlier this week, it was soooo good! I went to two grocery stores and both were out of Marsala wine so I used white cooking wine and some cognac instead. Husband and toddler approved! Will be making again!

    Haven’t made this dish yet but why didn’t it specify dry v. sweet marsala? I had to guess; I purchased a bottle of dry when I got the other ingredients.
