CHICKEN WITH CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA WINE

Steps:
- Stir flour and paprika together in a shallow dish. Remove and set aside 1 tablespoon of the flour mixture for later use. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chanterelle mushrooms in melted butter until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and set aside.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Cook the chicken breasts in the melted butter until browned, about 3 minutes per side; season with salt and pepper.
- Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir in chicken broth, reserved 1 tablespoon of flour-paprika mixture, Marsala wine, and dried tarragon. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook until the sauce is thick, the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by rossboys
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Step 1 - Steeping raisins in wine: In a small sauté pan or saucepan, combine the wine and raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, turn off the heat and set aside to steep. Step 2 - Flattening the scaloppini: Coat the chicken breasts with a little oil. Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1⁄4 to 1⁄3 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining halves. Step 3 - Dusting the scaloppini: Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly on both sides with flour. Step 4 - Cooking the scaloppini: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Step 5 - Sautéing the mushrooms: Spoon fat from the skillet. Add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and the sage. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Step 6 - Making the sauce: Add the wine and, if you like, the raisins. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan deposits, until the liquid reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sage. Stir in the hoisin and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer. Step 7 - Saucing the scaloppini: Return the scaloppini to the pan. Simmer about 1 minute to rewarm them while stirring with a spoon to coat them with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parsley. If the sauce looks too thick, thin with a little stock, broth, or water. Step 8 - Serving the scaloppini: Divide the chicken scaloppini among serving plates. Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with more parsley.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality Marsala wine. A dry Marsala is recommended for a more pronounced flavor, while a sweet Marsala can add a touch of sweetness to the dish.
- Use a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms are all good choices.
- Sear the chicken breasts in a hot skillet until golden brown to create a delicious crust and lock in the juices.
- Simmer the chicken and mushrooms in the Marsala wine sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the Marsala chicken and mushrooms over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This Marsala chicken and mushrooms recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of Marsala wine, mushrooms, and chicken creates a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
