CHICKEN WITH CHANTERELLE MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA WINE



Chicken with Chanterelle Mushrooms and Marsala Wine image

A fortunate mistake in forgetting to marinate the chicken in additional ingredients made me come up with this last-minute preparation. It's chanterelle season in Oregon, and I love to use this wild mushroom as often as I can in the fall.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
½ pound sliced chanterelle mushrooms
4 tablespoons butter
salt and ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup dry Marsala wine
1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed

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 MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4- to 5-pound chicken (organic and free range, if possible), cut into 10 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
4 cups sliced white button mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 cup dry marsala
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into cubes
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Chardonnay, for serving

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.

CHICKEN MARSALA AND MUSHROOMS



Chicken Marsala and Mushrooms image

Served over a tangle of linguine or with side of roast potatoes, this classic Italian-American dish made with chicken breasts, mushrooms and Marsala wine is comfort home cooking at its absolute best. Good news: It's also weeknight easy. First, pound boneless chicken breasts (you can use boneless thighs, too, but they might need a little more cooking time) with a mallet or a rolling pin until they're about 1/4-inch thick. Season them generously with salt and pepper, dredge in flour and fry in a little olive oil until they're golden brown. Make a quick sauce of mushrooms, shallots and Marsala and pour it over the chicken. Garnish with a little chopped parsley or chervil for color. That's good eating.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2/3 cup flour
1/2 pound cleaned and thinly sliced button, crimini or shiitake mushrooms (or a combination)
1 shallot, minced
4 tablespoons Marsala wine, more as needed
3 tablespoons veal glaze (see recipe) or chicken stock, more as needed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon chopped chervil or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a medium-size skillet set over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste and dredge in flour.

As chicken is cooked, set aside on a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep it warm.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
12 ounces mushrooms, sliced button variety
2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried porcini mushrooms, ground (can use other varieties depending on your taste or availability)
1/2 cup marsala wine
1/2 cup fat free chicken broth

Steps:

  • Season chicken with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.
  • Dredge chicken in flour, shake off excess.
  • Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add chicken and cook, turning once after 6-8 minutes. Should be lightly browned on both sides and barely firm when you press the centers of the chicken.
  • Remove chicken from chicken and set aside.
  • In same skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add button mushrooms, stirring occasionally, cook about 6 minutes or until liquid evaporates.
  • Stir in shallots and cook 2 minutes.
  • Stir in ground porcini mushrooms and Marsala wine. Increase heat, boil for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and return to boil.
  • Add chicken breasts; turn to coat in sauce.
  • Simmer until sauce thickens.
  • Transfer to serving plates.
  • NOTE: You can find dried mushrooms in the ethnic foods aisle in your grocery store. I have also found them in the produce department. Once I couldn't find the dried porcini mushrooms so I bought a mix of dried mushrooms. Then I put the dried mushrooms in my spice grinder to grind. I'm sure if you didn't have a spice grinder, you could use a clean coffee grinder or food processor.
