THE BEST CHICKEN MARSALA



The Best Chicken Marsala image

This classic Italian-American dish is a nostalgic reminder of large family dinners of a bygone era. It's the ultimate crowd pleaser. The flavors from the marsala and cremini mushrooms bring a sweet earthiness to the sauce that really elevates simple seared chicken breasts.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups dry marsala wine
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.

CHICKEN MARSALA



Chicken Marsala image

For an Italian favorite, try Tyler Florence's Chicken Marsala recipe, a flavorful meal of mushrooms, prosciutto and Marsala wine over tender chicken.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
8 ounces crimini or porcini mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Slip the cutlets into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden, turning once - do this in batches if the pieces don't fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings in the pan, saute for 1 minute to render out some of the fat. Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the butter and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE LASAGNA



Chicken Cacciatore Lasagna image

Tender braised chicken loaded with those familiar Cacciatore flavors is layered with fresh pasta and a luxurious béchamel sauce to create this decadent lasagna.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
3/4 cup dry white wine
4 bay leaves (preferably fresh)
2 28-ounce cans whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1 1/4 pounds fresh lasagna noodles
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Working in two batches, add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the onions to the pot and cook, stirring, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in the wine, scraping up any browned bits, and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the chicken and its juices to the pot.
  • Add 3 bay leaves to the pot along with the tomatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil and stir, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the sauce is thickened, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Line a baking sheet with a kitchen towel. Cook the lasagna noodles in the boiling water a few at a time until just al dente, 2 minutes. Carefully remove the noodles with a slotted spoon, transfer to the ice water and let cool, then remove the noodles to the baking sheet and blot dry. Drizzle the noodles very lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking; set aside. Preheat the oven to 375 ̊ F.
  • Make the béchamel: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour; cook, whisking constantly, until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high and whisk in 1 cup milk until combined. Continue whisking in the remaining 3 cups milk, 1 cup at a time, until combined. Add the remaining bay leaf, a big pinch each of salt and pepper and the nutmeg and cook, whisking, until the sauce comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.
  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Shred the chicken in the sauce with two forks; discard the bay leaves. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the chicken sauce in the baking dish and top with a layer of noodles, overlapping them slightly and trimming if necessary. Top with another layer of the chicken sauce, 1/2 cup béchamel and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Repeat the layering three more times (noodles, chicken sauce, béchamel, Parmesan), then top with a final layer of noodles (you might not use all of the noodles). Top with the remaining béchamel and parmesan. Put the lasagna on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake the lasagna until bubbling around the edges and lightly browned on top, 30 to 35 minutes. Let sit 15 minutes before serving. Top with more Parmesan.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken and mushrooms. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package directions. Al dente noodles will hold their shape better in the lasagna.
  • Layer the lasagna in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Start with a layer of noodles, then a layer of chicken and mushrooms, then a layer of sauce, and finally a layer of cheese.
  • Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used up. End with a layer of cheese.
  • Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
