Here is a truly quick and easy Chicken Marsala Recipe:
Making a quick side dish is one thing; I wanted to see if I could take it to the next level. How fast could I create an entire dinner? I took one particular shortcut – I used Land O Lakes Sauté Express®, which eliminated preparing and sauteing fresh garlic and proved to be a big timesaver. I formulated a plan for a quick dinner recipe, set a timer, and started cooking. I was able to create an amazingly delicious Chicken Marsala that my family raved about with Garlic Green Beans and Potatoes on the side in 20 minutes. Faster than I could have pizza delivered and so much more wholesome.
Save the wrappers! Place the wrappers in a baggy and put them in the freezer to use later to grease casserole dishes. It is a flavorful alternative to greasing your pans with butter or oil alone.
I took a recipe for Easy Chicken Marsala that I found on the Land O’ Lakes website and made it even faster and easier by replacing several of the ingredients with Sauté Express® Garlic & Herb Sauté Starter.
While the Chicken Marsala was cooking, I started sauteing green beans and potatoes in Sauté Express® Garlic and Herb Sauté Starter.
Quite a few potatoes wedges were stolen by people walking through the kitchen as I cooked. Next time, I will have to factor that in and add an extra potato to the recipe.

While many people enjoy Chicken Marsala over pasta, I prefer to skip the pasta and serve it with a side dish of veggies, so I made Garlic Green Beans and Potatoes. I adapted this recipe that I found on the Land O’ Lakes website. It was quick, easy and seriously delicious!
- 4 medium potatoes
- 2 Land O Lakes® Garlic & Herb Sauté Express® squares
- 1 lb green beans, trim ends
- Pierce potatoes with fork in 2-3 places. Microwave 3-5 minutes or until just beginning to soften.
- Melt 2 Sauté Express® squares in large skillet over medium-low heat just until bubbles begin to form.
- Cut potatoes into bite-sized wedges; add potatoes and green beans to skillet. Cover; cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and green beans are tender.
