CHICKEN MARSALA BAKE



Chicken Marsala Bake image

My Marsala bake is a little different from the "normal" potluck dish, so it's a nice change of pace to take to dinners. The best part: I serve it with fried polenta slices, so it's completely gluten-free and perfect for my husband, who has celiac disease. -Deborah Stevens, Goodyear, Arizona

MARSALA AND MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE



Marsala and Mushroom Pasta Bake image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 pound cavatappi pasta
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cups sliced mixed mushrooms (shiitake and cremini)
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup marsala wine
3 cups vegetable stock
1 cup whole milk
Freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil on the direct heat side of the grill and cook the pasta 3 minutes less than the package directions. Place a large sauté pan over the direct heat side of the grill. Add the butter and once melted, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for 1 minute so the mushrooms soak up some of the butter. Then add the onions, garlic and thyme. Stir and cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are slightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, coating all of the vegetables. Deglaze the pan with the marsala, smoothing out any lumps. Stir in the vegetable stock and milk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and bring to a simmer.
  • Add the cooked pasta, parsley and mushroom marsala mixture to an extra-large mixing bowl. Mix to combine well, then transfer back to the sauté pan. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Place the sauté pan on the indirect heat side of the grill, close the grill with the lid and bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown in some spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve!

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 12h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces (the 2 breasts split into 2 even pieces; 2 wings; 2 drumsticks; and 2 thighs)
1 cup toasted bread crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken, whisk together the soy sauce, Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and canola oil. Remove the skin from the breast and thigh pieces and submerge the chicken in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs and butter. Mix to blend. Season with salt. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off the chicken pieces, and roll them in the breadcrumbs. Take care to bread all sides of each piece. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Bake until the pieces are cooked through (internal temperature of 155 to 160 F) and the chicken and bread crumbs are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups dry Marsala wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon lemon juice
fresh parsley, for serving
1 lb Cooked pasta, potatoes, or rice, for serving

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MARSALA



Pan-Roasted Chicken Breasts With Marsala image

Get the taste and texture of roasted chicken by pan-roasting pieces with a quick pan sauce. Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan, such as a cast-iron skillet. The butter thickens and enriches the sauce, but if you don't want to add the extra fat, stir in 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cornstarch dissolved in a little stock or water and boil for 30 seconds. From HomeMaker's.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 chicken breasts (bone-in skin-on, about 3 lb/1.5 kg)
1/4 cup minced shallot
8 fresh sage leaves (or 1 tsp/5 mL crumbled dried)
2/3 cup chicken stock
74 ml dry marsala or 74 ml dry sherry
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt
pepper
vegetable oil
butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Season both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper. In heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil over medium-high heat; fry chicken, skin side down, until skin is browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn chicken; transfer skillet to 450°F (230°C) convection oven or 475°F (240°C) conventional oven. Bake, basting chicken with pan juices after 10 minutes, until no longer pink in centre, 16 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven (wrap handle of skillet in oven mitt); transfer to serving platter and keep warm.
  • Pour off all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) fat from pan; fry shallots over medium-high heat, scraping up any brown bits, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add sage; fry until shallots are lightly browned, about 1 minute. Stir in stock and wine; boil until reduced by two-thirds. Remove from heat. Cut 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter (if using) into pieces; stir into sauce. Stir in lemon juice; spoon over chicken.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Choose free-range, organic chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and texture. Use a dry Marsala wine that is at least two years old for a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the pan.
  • Reduce the Marsala wine until it is syrupy: This will help to concentrate the flavor of the wine and create a delicious sauce.
  • Serve the chicken Marsala immediately: This dish is best served hot, so make sure to have everything ready before you start cooking.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and elegant meal that is sure to impress your friends and family. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your chicken Marsala turns out perfectly.
