CHICKEN MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS
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.

Tips:
- To achieve a flavorful and succulent chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Pounding the chicken pieces to an even thickness ensures uniform cooking.
- Use a combination of butter and olive oil to sauté the chicken. This will prevent the butter from burning while adding a rich flavor to the dish.
- When searing the chicken, do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid steaming rather than searing.
- Use a good quality Marsala wine. A dry Marsala will result in a more robust flavor, while a sweet Marsala will produce a sweeter sauce.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they are tender and slightly browned. This will enhance their flavor and texture.
- Use fresh baby spinach for the best flavor and texture. Wilting the spinach quickly in the pan will maintain its vibrant green color and nutrients.
- Serve the chicken Marsala immediately over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
