CARRABBA'S CHICKEN MARSALA

Carrabba's Chicken Marsala image

I searched for this recipe on-line. I found a link to it from a Knoxsville, TN news station that Carrabba's Italian Grill was the presenter for chicken marsala. It includes the spices for the chicken before grilling. WBIR.com-recipes. Update: I always use 8 oz. fresh mushrooms and add them while sauteeing the shallots, so changed the recipe to my way of making it. Also can add more cornstarch for a thicker sauce, but start with the stated amount and add more to liking.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
1 slice prosciutto, diced
2 teaspoons minced shallots
2 teaspoons minced garlic
8 ounces fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup lombardo dry marsala wine
1 cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 chicken breasts
olive oil

Steps:

Melt butter over low heat in a medium saucepan. Turn heat up to medium high to sauté the prosciutto in the melted butter for about 2 to 3 minutes; be careful not to burn butter, add shallots and mushrooms and sauté for about until vegetables are tender then add the garlic and saute another 30 seconds. Add marsala wine, simmer for another 30 seconds or so, then add black pepper. Simmer over medium high heat for 5 minutes.
Dissolve corn starch in chicken stock. Add stock to saucepan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Add parsley and cream to the sauce and simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until thick. Remove from heat, cover until needed.
Preheat barbecue grill on high heat. Combine ingredients for the chicken spice in a small bowl. Use your thumb and fingers to crush the spices in the bowl to make a finer blend.
Brush each chicken breast generously with olive oil. Sprinkle spice blend over both sides of chicken breast and grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until done. Give chicken a one quarter turn on each side while cooking to make the criss cross grill marks.
Serve entree by arranging each chicken breast on a plate. Spoon one quarter of the marsala sauce over each serving of chicken and serve. Serves 4.

Tips:

To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For a crispier crust on the chicken, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
If you don't have chicken broth on hand, you can substitute vegetable broth or water.
Be sure to use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
Serve the chicken mezzaluna with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto.

Conclusion:

Chicken mezzaluna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, creamy cheese, and flavorful herbs makes this dish a surefire hit. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of roasted vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
