salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, chopped
6 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups beef broth (not chicken broth)

  • Heat a large, deep skillet over medium high heat.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many mushrooms at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Season the mushrooms well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are tender. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve the mushrooms immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Chicken Tosca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of chicken, mushrooms, and Marsala wine is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
