CHICKEN MARSALA

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
Grapeseed oil, for cooking
3/4 cup marsala wine
1 cup veal or beef stock
4 ounces (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup 1/4-inch-thick sliced mushrooms
Fresh herbs such as chives or grated cheese, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • To prepare the chicken, season the flour with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken breasts to 1/4-inch-thick medallions. Coat with the flour and tap off any excess.
  • Next, in a saucepan over medium heat, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and allow to warm. After warming, add the chicken and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat the process. After cooking all the chicken, hold warm covered on a plate. Add the marsala to the pan over medium-high heat. This will deglaze the pan. After deglazing, reduce the wine by three-fourths volume so 2 ounces remain. Then add the mushrooms. Stir the mushrooms, scraping the sides, then finish with the veal stock. Allow the stock to warm and thicken for 4 to 5 minutes, and then remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and finish by spooning over the cooked chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs or cheese if desired.

ROCCO'S FAMOUS CHICKEN MARSALA

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups virgin olive oil
9 (4-ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 cups Italian bread crumbs
3 tablespoons minced garlic
6 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups fresh chopped tomatoes
3 tablespoons fresh chopped basil leaves
1 1/2 cups Marsala wine
3/4 cups half-and-half
3/4 cups marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 pinch pepper

Steps:

  • For the Chicken Marsala:
  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. Pound chicken breasts lightly on each side flipping twice. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow baking dish. Bread each breast by pushing down into bread crumbs and then flipping so both sides are breaded. Place the breasts in the hot pan and saute until lightly browned on each side. Drain the oil from the pan.
  • The next 2 steps must be done quickly while pan is on the burner. Add the minced garlic to the hot pan, NOT on the chicken breasts. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, basil and marsala wine. Flip chicken breasts over placing them on top of the ingredients so they cook and the breasts do not burn. Let the alcohol burn off and let the wine soak in for a minute. Stir in the half-and-half, marinara sauce, and chicken broth and cook over high heat. Add pepper and continue cooking on high heat until liquid reduces into a thick, golden brown sauce, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • If serving right away. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and transfer to a serving platter. Pour the sauce directly from the pan onto the chicken breasts and serve.
  • If making ahead of time and/or for a more tender and juicy Chicken Marsala. Do NOT remove the breasts; instead pour the entire contents of the saute pan into a baking dish and put in a preheated 175 degrees F oven for 1 hour. Carefully remove chicken breasts and transfer to a serving platter. Pour the sauce from the pan over the chicken breasts and serve

BREADED CHICKEN MARSALA



BREADED CHICKEN MARSALA image

Categories     Chicken     Cocktail Party     Fourth of July     Kid-Friendly     Backyard BBQ     Dinner     Lunch

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Marsala wine
1 tbsn Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsn Dijon mustard
1 tbsn hot sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 half chicken, cut into 10 pieces
1 cup toasted bread crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
salt
lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken, whisk together the soy sauce, Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and canola oil. Remove the skin from the breast and thigh pieces and submerge the chicken in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs and butter. Mix to blend. Season with salt. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off the chicken pieces, and roll them in the breadcrumbs. Take care to bread all sides of each piece. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Bake until the pieces are cooked through (internal temperature of 155 to 160 F) and the chicken and bread crumbs are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and golden-brown crust, ensure the chicken is evenly coated in seasoned flour before dipping it into the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
  • Use a combination of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese for a flavorful and crunchy coating.
  • Pan-fry the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken breasts. Thinner cutlets will cook faster than thicker ones.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  • For a richer and more flavorful sauce, use a combination of chicken broth, white wine, and Marsala wine.
  • Add sliced mushrooms to the sauce for an earthy and savory flavor.
  • Serve the breaded chicken Marsala immediately with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
