Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 large chicken breasts (or 6 thin cutlets)
1 large egg
2 tbsp + 1/4 cup water
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp olive oil or butter
2 cups mushrooms (sliced)
2 cups marsala wine
2 tbsp honey

Steps:

  • Mix flour and seasoning into a bowl and set aside. Beat egg with 2 tbsp water and set aside.
  • Slice thicker chicken pieces in half or use chicken cutlets. Lay 3 chicken slices (or cutlets) on a long piece of saran wrap. Top them with another piece of saran wrap and cover completely. Lay the covered chicken on a cutting board and tenderize with a kitchen mallet or hammer.
  • Heat pan to medium-high heat and add 1.5 tbsp olive oil or butter, swirling the pan to coat completely.
  • Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat in flour mixture. Cook chicken in 2 batches, doing only 3 pieces the first time. Brown for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add remaining olive oil or butter to the pan and repeat step 4.
  • When chicken is done, add mushrooms to the same pan with 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until mushrooms begin to soften.
  • Add marsala wine, 1/2 tsp salt, and honey to mushrooms. Bring to a boil.
  • Gently place chicken back into marsala wine mixture, making sure to coat all pieces with the sauce. Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook, uncovered for approximately 30 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Serve warm with your seasonal veggies of choice and enjoy!

THE BEST CHICKEN MARSALA



The Best Chicken Marsala image

This classic Italian-American dish is a nostalgic reminder of large family dinners of a bygone era. It's the ultimate crowd pleaser. The flavors from the marsala and cremini mushrooms bring a sweet earthiness to the sauce that really elevates simple seared chicken breasts.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup olive oil
12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups dry marsala wine
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
  • Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.

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.

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:

Place 2 of the chicken pieces in the pan and cook until nicely browned, about 2 minutes per side. Add another tablespoon of oil and the remaining chicken pieces. As chicken is cooked, set aside on a plate and loosely tent with foil to keep it warm.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the skillet, add the mushrooms and shallot and cook until the mushrooms are tender and beginning to brown. Add the Marsala wine and cook until reduced by half. Stir in the veal glaze or stock and heat for 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and swirl in the butter until melted. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and pour the sauce from the skillet over the chicken. Garnish with chervil or parsley and serve.

CHICKEN MARSALA



Chicken Marsala image

Chicken Marsala is an Italian-American dish of golden pan-fried chicken cutlets and mushrooms in a rich Marsala wine sauce.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded ¼-inch thick (see note), or chicken tenderloins
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 (8-oz) package pre-sliced bella or button mushrooms
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, from 1 medium shallot
2 cloves garlic, minced
⅔ cup chicken broth
⅔ cup dry Marsala wine
⅔ cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the flour, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a ziplock bag. Add the chicken to the bag; seal bag tightly and shake to coat chicken evenly. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (Use a stainless steel pan for the best browning. Nonstick will work too, but you won't get that nice golden color on the chicken.) Place the flour-dusted chicken in the pan, shaking off any excess first, and cook, turning once, until the chicken is golden and just barely cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon of salt; cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the broth, Marsala, heavy cream, thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper; use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the pan into the liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and gently boil, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by about half, slightly thickened, and darkened in color, 10 to 15 minutes (you're going for a thin cream sauce; it won't start to thicken until the very end of the cooking time). Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any juices that accumulated on the plate. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce thickens a bit more, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve.
  • Note: If your chicken breasts are large (like the ones in the photos that are about ¾ lb. each), it's best to first cut them horizontally to form four flat fillets, then pound them to an even ¼-inch thickness. If you pound large chicken breasts without first halving them, they'll be huge. Of course, you could also pound them thin first and then cut them in half vertically; the only drawback is that they'll lose their natural shape (which, admittedly, is not a big deal!).

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner dish.
  • Pound the chicken breasts or thighs to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before dredging it in flour.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil to brown the chicken. This will help to prevent the butter from burning.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Use a dry white wine for the marsala sauce. A sweeter wine will make the sauce too sweet.
  • Add mushrooms and shallots to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • Serve the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Chicken marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
