Create the Marsala Sauce
Finish and Serve
For a richer, creamier sauce, stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream at the end of step 4, just before returning the veal to the pan.
Substitute the veal cutlets with thinly pounded chicken breasts for a classic alternative. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Use thin, boneless pork loin chops, pounded to an even thickness, for a different and delicious flavor profile.

Both veal and mushrooms contribute important minerals like zinc, phosphorus, and selenium, which support immune function, bone health, and antioxidant defenses.
Veal Marsala is a rich and indulgent dish. While veal itself is a lean source of protein and B vitamins, the sauce contains butter and wine. It can be part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation. To make it lighter, you can reduce the amount of butter.
A typical serving of Veal Marsala contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the exact ingredients and portion size. This does not include side dishes like pasta or potatoes.
Always use a 'dry' Marsala wine for this savory dish. Sweet Marsala is typically used for desserts and will make the sauce overly sweet. Look for brands that are suitable for cooking.
Absolutely! Chicken Marsala is a very popular variation. Simply substitute the veal with an equal weight of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to a 1/4-inch thickness.
It's traditionally served with something that can soak up the delicious sauce. Excellent choices include creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or a simple risotto. A side of steamed green beans or asparagus also pairs well.
