Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil; not rehydrated), finely chopped or very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
10 ounces white button or cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup sweet marsala wine
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 to 2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the chicken cutlets between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet (or the flat side of a chef's knife) until about 1/3-inch thick. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Put the flour on a medium plate. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken in the flour to fully coat, shaking off any excess. Add the chicken to the skillet and fry until fully cooked and golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the broth, the sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary to any remaining drippings in the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute to plump the tomatoes. Add the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the marsala and bring to a boil. Add the remaining 1/4 cup broth and the butter and simmer until the butter is fully melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Spoon the mushroom mixture and sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound chicken tenders
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dried porcini mushrooms
2 shallots, minced
2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry Marsala wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Warm crusty Italian bread, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, shaking off excess. Heat a 12- to 14-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and brown each side of the chicken until golden brown, 2 minutes a side (you want to actually undercook the chicken a bit; it will finish in the pan later). Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • To the same pan, add the cremini mushrooms, butter, dried porcini and shallots and cook until deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the gelatin and 1/4 cup of the broth together and let sit to bloom.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another 20 seconds. Deglaze with the Marsala, scraping up any bits. Whisk in the remaining broth and the gelatin mixture and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Nestle the browned chicken in the pan and gently simmer for 3 minutes. Top with the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Serve with warm crusty Italian bread.

Tips:

  • To achieve a richer flavor, use a combination of light and dark meat chicken. Dark meat provides a bolder taste, while light meat adds a leaner texture.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before searing. This helps to remove excess moisture and allows the skin to brown better.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and result in soggy skin.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven to make the sauce. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This will result in a richer, more complex sauce.
  • Serve the chicken marsala over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Herbed chicken marsala is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its savory sauce, tender chicken, and aromatic herbs, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and memorable meal, give this herbed chicken marsala recipe a try.
