CHICKEN MARSALA PASTA AL FORNO

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces mostaccioli pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken tenders
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons dried porcini mushrooms
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry marsala wine
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until very very al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat the oven to broil.
  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper and dredge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on both sides until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. (Note: the chicken should only be seared, not cooked through. It will finish cooking in the oven.) Transfer the chicken to a wire-racked baking sheet.
  • To the same skillet, add the butter, cremini, porcini and shallots and cook, stirring minimally to aid in browning, until the mushrooms are deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, another 20 seconds. Deglaze with the marsala, scraping up any browned bits. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Off the heat, add the pasta and stir well to coat with the sauce. Top with the browned chicken, then a layer of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Broil the pasta in the skillet until the cheese is browned and the pasta and chicken are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for free-range chicken, organic vegetables, and a good quality Marsala wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown properly. Otherwise, they will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
  • Reduce the Marsala wine: Simmering the Marsala wine for a few minutes will help to concentrate its flavor and make it more intense.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use for the sauce should be flavorful and melty. A good option is Parmesan cheese.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken Marsala Pasta Bake is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala Pasta Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
