Provided by á-3145

Number Of Ingredients 21

Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
2 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in halves and pounded thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini, oyster, shiitake)
3/4 cup dry Marsala
1 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped chives, for garnish
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour and Essence and stir to combine thoroughly. Quickly dredge the chicken breast halves in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking to remove any excess flour. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the pan and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and have given off their liquid. Add the Marsala wine and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Lower the heat to medium and return the chicken breasts to the pan and continue to cook until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, add salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, organic chicken breasts, and flavorful mushrooms. Opt for a dry Marsala wine with a nutty flavor, and use homemade chicken stock for richer flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of Marsala wine, garlic, and herbs enhances its flavor and tenderness.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides to lock in the juices. Then, reduce heat and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through but still juicy.
  • Use a flavorful Marsala wine sauce: The Marsala wine sauce is the star of the dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a dry Marsala wine and let it reduce until it thickens and becomes syrupy. Add sautéed mushrooms, shallots, and garlic for extra flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Chicken Marsala pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
