CHICKEN WITH CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA WINE



Chicken with Chanterelle Mushrooms and Marsala Wine image

A fortunate mistake in forgetting to marinate the chicken in additional ingredients made me come up with this last-minute preparation. It's chanterelle season in Oregon, and I love to use this wild mushroom as often as I can in the fall.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
½ pound sliced chanterelle mushrooms
4 tablespoons butter
salt and ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup dry Marsala wine
1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed

Steps:

  • Stir flour and paprika together in a shallow dish. Remove and set aside 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for later use. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chanterelle mushrooms in melted butter until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Cook the chicken breasts in the melted butter until browned, about 3 minutes per side; season with salt and pepper.
  • Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir in chicken broth, reserved 1 tablespoon of flour-paprika mixture, Marsala wine, and dried tarragon. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook until the sauce is thick, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your chicken marsala will be. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a good quality Marsala wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Reduce the Marsala wine until it is syrupy: This will help to concentrate the flavor of the wine and make it more flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken marsala with a side of pasta or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its rich, flavorful sauce and tender chicken, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
