4 Star Chicken

Had this at a 4 star restaurant in my teens. Loved it so much, Mom got the recipe from the chef so she could make it for me. It has become a favorite of my kids, too. Now they know how to make it! This is not your lite chicken Marsala variety! Serve with oven-warmed French bread.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup butter
¼ cup olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded 1/2-inch thick
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
16 capers, or to taste
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup water
6 cloves garlic, minced
¾ cup white Zinfandel wine
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan fry the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Place 2 ounces of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast, then sprinkle parsley and capers on top. Reduce heat to medium, cover pan, and allow cheese to melt, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large baking dish, and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Keep the chicken warm in the preheated oven while you finish the sauce.
  • Whisk together the cornstarch and water in a small bowl; set aside. Cook and stir the garlic over medium-low heat in the same skillet used to cook the chicken until fragrant, scraping up any bits of chicken and cheese, about 1 minute. Pour in the white Zinfandel wine, and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken. Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the cream sauce until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • To serve, pour the cream sauce over the chicken.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken marsala turned out terrible. The chicken was tough and overcooked, and the sauce was thin and watery. I'm so disappointed, because I was really looking forward to this dish.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different chicken marsala recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for me. I think I would have preferred to use dry marsala instead of sweet marsala. But other than that, the dish was very good. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy.

I'm on a diet, so I made a few changes to this recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs, and I used white wine instead of marsala. I also omitted the butter and used olive oil instead. The dish still turned out great! The c

Made this last night for my husband's birthday dinner. He loved it. He said it was the best chicken marsala he's ever had. I thought it was pretty good too. The sauce was especially tasty. I will definitely be making this again.
