This skillet keto chicken marsala is super easy to make and loaded with flavor! The creamy marsala and mushroom sauce is restaurant quality in only 30 minutes! I love getting chicken marsala whenever I visit an Italian restaurant but the restaurant version usually has chicken dredged in flour and the sauce may be thickened with flour. I prefer my version that is flour free! Most people serve chicken marsala with potatoes, pasta, or rice. I prefer to serve mine with green beans or broccoli!
What I love most about this keto chicken marsala is that it is ready in about 30 minutes. This is accomplished because we are not using a breading and we are using chicken cutlets instead of full size chicken breasts.
A chicken cutlet is a chicken breast that has been cut in half lengthwise. This lets the chicken cook much more quickly.

I've done a Keto esk diet in the past by myself. I needed to lose some weight again and got my wife to do it with me this time. Made the Keto Chicken Marsala recipe the other night. I'll admit, I wasn't super confident when I finished it, but once we all tasted it, I knew I'd hit a grand slam home run. Definitely will not be the last time we make this one. We did air-fried brussel sprouts and cut green beans for sides, and it was a fantastic meal.
