Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season the chicken strips with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Turn on your Instant Pot® and select the 'Sauté' function. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once melted and shimmering, add the chicken and cook until golden brown on all sides. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot® and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the garlic and shallots and sauté until softened and fragrant. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot (deglazing). (3 minutes)

06

Step

Return the chicken to the Instant Pot® and pour the Marsala wine over it. (1 minute)

07

Step

Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot®. Select the 'Poultry' function and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build.

08

Step

Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, release any remaining pressure manually using the quick-release method. (15 minutes)

09

Step

Carefully unlock and remove the lid.

10

Step

Select the 'Sauté' function again. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the Instant Pot®, along with the heavy whipping cream. (2 minutes)

11

Step

Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has slightly thickened to your desired consistency. (5 minutes)

12

Step

Serve the Chicken Marsala hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.

For an even richer flavor, use sweet Marsala wine.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, add an additional teaspoon of cornstarch slurry.
Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta for a complete and satisfying meal.
To make ahead, prepare the Chicken Marsala through step 11. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot® using the 'Sauté' function until heated through.
