Provided by Abby Girl

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 lbs chicken pieces
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 lb mushroom, cleaned and halved
1 zucchini, diced (or green bell pepper)
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 cup marinara sauce (purchased or homemade)
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry marsala wine
1 1/2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 3 T oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and saute until brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate.
  • Pour off fat from the skillet. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Add mushrooms, zucchini, onion, garlic and oregano. Saute until onion is tender, about 7 - 10 minutes. In a bowl, mix in marinara sauce, broth, Marsala and capers.
  • Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over. Bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Using tongs, transfer chicken to a large platter. Boil sauce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes; spoon off fat.
  • Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper; spoon over chicken.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy skillet or Dutch oven to ensure even cooking and to prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry before searing. This will help it brown evenly.
  • Sear the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Overcrowding will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry Marsala will produce a more flavorful sauce than a sweet Marsala.
  • Add the capers and parsley at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the chicken Marsala over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, rich Marsala wine sauce, and briny capers is simply irresistible. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. Serve it with your favorite sides and enjoy!
