Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Four 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil; not rehydrated), finely chopped or very thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
10 ounces white button or cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup sweet marsala wine
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 to 2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Place the chicken cutlets between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet (or the flat side of a chef's knife) until about 1/3-inch thick. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Put the flour on a medium plate. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken in the flour to fully coat, shaking off any excess. Add the chicken to the skillet and fry until fully cooked and golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the broth, the sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary to any remaining drippings in the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute to plump the tomatoes. Add the mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the marsala and bring to a boil. Add the remaining 1/4 cup broth and the butter and simmer until the butter is fully melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Spoon the mushroom mixture and sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, minced

  • Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 375°F.
  • Spread flour in a shallow dish. rinse chicken breasts, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour to coat shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken skin side down and cook until light golden brown. Flip pieces and cook on all sides to the same consistency, about 10 minutes total. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  • Add a little more of the oil to the pan on high heat and add the bacon, mushrooms, garlic and onions. Season with salt/peper and cook just long enough to crisp up the bacon and get some color on the mushrooms, about 2 to 3 minute Stir in the tomato paste and rosemary/thyme and cook about 1 minute longer. Place the chicken pieces back into the pan skin-side up and spread them out evenly, pushing them down into the mushrooms and onions. Add the Marsala, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and add the chicken broth. Cover and place the whole pot in the oven and cook until the tops of the chicken are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • In the mean time, cook your polenta.
  • CHEESY HERB POLENTA: Bring the chicken stock, half and half and salt to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Pour the polenta into the boiling mixture in a slow stream while whisking constantly in a circular motion. Bring to a simmer, still stirring constantly.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring vigorously and scraping the sides and bottom of the pot; until the polenta becomes soft and smooth, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the herbs, butter and the cheese, ¼ cup at a time, until thick and creamy.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Use tongs to remove the chicken from the pan and transfer onto a serving platter and keep warm.
  • Set the dutch oven back over the burner on high heat. Bring up to a boil and cook until thickened and flavors have become concentrated, about 3 to 4 minute.

  • Enhance the mushroom component by using a variety of types, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, which offer distinct textures and flavors.
