CHICKEN MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4- to 5-pound chicken (organic and free range, if possible), cut into 10 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
4 cups sliced white button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup dry marsala
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Chardonnay, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Set a turkey roaster pan over 2 burners on medium heat and add the canola oil. Brown the chicken, skin-side down first, 3 to 4 minutes, then turn and brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Add a little more of the oil to the pan on high heat and add the mushrooms, garlic and onions. Season with salt and cook just long enough to get some color on the mushrooms, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and thyme and cook about 1 minute longer. Place the chicken pieces back into the pan skin-side up and spread them out evenly, pushing them down into the mushrooms and onions. Add the marsala, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and add the chicken broth. Place the whole pan in the oven and cook until the tops of the chicken are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pan and transfer onto a serving platter and keep warm. Set the roasting pan back over the burner on high heat. Bring the contents to a boil and cook the liquid until it is reduced and the flavors become concentrated, 3 to 4 minutes. Shut off the heat, add the butter cubes and stir gently to melt the butter evenly. This will thicken the marsala sauce and give it a rich flavor. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of the lemon juice and fold in the parsley. Pour over the chicken and serve with Chardonnay.

LEMON-BASIL CHICKEN MARSALA



Lemon-Basil Chicken Marsala image

"This melt-in-your-mouth Chicken Marsala is based on a recipe picked up in a cooking class," recalls Greta Igl in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. "But the basil and splash of lemon are my own touches. We've tried this dish in many restaurants, but always agree our homemade version tastes best. It's so easy...and if we're lucky enough to have leftovers, they reheat beautifully in the microwave."

CHICKEN MARSALA AND MUSHROOMS



Chicken Marsala and Mushrooms image

Served over a tangle of linguine or with side of roast potatoes, this classic Italian-American dish made with chicken breasts, mushrooms and Marsala wine is comfort home cooking at its absolute best. Good news: It's also weeknight easy. First, pound boneless chicken breasts (you can use boneless thighs, too, but they might need a little more cooking time) with a mallet or a rolling pin until they're about 1/4-inch thick. Season them generously with salt and pepper, dredge in flour and fry in a little olive oil until they're golden brown. Make a quick sauce of mushrooms, shallots and Marsala and pour it over the chicken. Garnish with a little chopped parsley or chervil for color. That's good eating.
