CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN MARSALA



Chef John's Chicken Marsala image

Certain dishes have a special place in my heart and this is one of them. The first real restaurant job I had in San Francisco was at a small place called Ryan's Cafe. It was run by a husband and wife team, Michael and Lenore Ryan. They were true 'foodies' before that term had even been coined. This chicken Marsala dish was the most popular dish on the menu and the first one that I was taught.

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 skin-on, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 white mushrooms, sliced
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup Marsala wine
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon cold butter

Steps:

  • Season chicken breasts all over with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts, skin-side down, in hot butter and oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until breasts are almost cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate.
  • Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper in hot butter until mushrooms are golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add minced shallot; cook and stir until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle flour over the top and cook and stir until the bitterness of the flour cooks off, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour wine into skillet and bring to a boil; cook and stir until wine reduces and sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Return chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook chicken, turning once, until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from heat.
  • Move chicken to one side of the skillet and tilt the skillet so that the sauce pools at the bottom. Stir parsley and 1 teaspoon cold butter into the sauce, stirring constantly, until sauce is shiny and butter is completely melted. Transfer chicken breasts to plates and spoon mushrooms and sauce over the top.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
2 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in halves and pounded thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini, oyster, shiitake)
3/4 cup Marsala

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the pan and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and have given off their liquid. Add the Marsala wine and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Lower the heat to medium and return the chicken breasts to the pan and continue to cook until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, add salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Chef John's Mulligatawny Soup image

I'm showing you my take on what is considered one of the world's greatest soups. Which was invented, I hear, because British soldiers in India weren't able to start a meal without soup. This is incredibly hearty, savory, and comforting, and something that should be on every soup lover's bucket list. Serve with naan.

The results were incredible. Serve with an arugula salad.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Chicken Marsala

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 large egg, beaten
1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs, divided, or more as needed
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
¼ cup olive oil for frying
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
salt to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup dry Marsala wine
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 cups chicken broth
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap, or a cut-open zip-top bag, and use a meat pounder to flatten the meat to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Season chicken on both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and cayenne, and transfer to a large plate. Sift flour over both sides of the chicken until the surface is completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate.
  • Brush away any excess flour from the plate. Sprinkle about 1/4 inch of panko onto the surface of the plate.
  • Pour the egg over the floured chicken and use a brush to paint evenly over the meat. Flip and repeat on the other side. Once chicken has been thoroughly coated with the egg, pick up each piece with tongs, letting the excess egg drip off, and place on the plate of panko.
  • Generously sprinkle panko over the top of the chicken and press in with your hands or tongs. Flip the chicken over, and sprinkle more panko over the top. Repeat until the chicken is well breaded all over.
  • Sprinkle a light coating of the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top of the chicken and press lightly into the breading with your hands. Flip and repeat on the other side.
  • Transfer to a plate sprinkled with more panko. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to pan-fry.
  • To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over high heat; add the mushrooms and a large pinch of salt. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in flour. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 2 minutes.
  • Pour in Marsala and lemon juice and use a spatula or spoon to scrape any caramelization from the bottom of the pan. Pour in chicken broth and raise heat to medium-high. Season with black pepper and cayenne and bring to a simmer. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens slightly. Keep hot until needed or let cool and reheat when needed. Before serving, some freshly chopped parsley can be stirred in.
  • Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately with Marsala sauce underneath or spooned over the top.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry Marsala is best, as it will not overpower the other flavors in the dish.
  • Brown the chicken well before adding the sauce. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. If you do, they will not brown properly.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Serve the chicken Marsala immediately. It is best enjoyed when hot.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful Marsala wine sauce, and sautéed mushrooms is sure to satisfy everyone at your table. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, chicken Marsala is a great choice.
