CHICKEN MARSALA PASTA AL FORNO



Chicken Marsala Pasta al Forno image

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!

EASY JUICY CHICKEN MARSALA RECIPE BY TASTY



Easy Juicy Chicken Marsala Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: boneless, skinless chicken breasts, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, olive oil, butter, garlic, shallot, cremini mushroom, dry Marsala wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, fresh parsley, Cooked pasta, potatoes, or rice

Provided by Matthew Johnson

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1 cup all-purpose flour
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup shallot, minced
1 lb cremini mushroom, trimmed and thinly sliced
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

Steps:

  • Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise, then cut the larger, thicker half again horizontally, creating 3 equally thick cutlets. Place the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a wide, shallow dish and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking gently to remove any excess flour, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side, another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • To the same, now empt pan with leftover oil and butter, add the garlic, shallots, and cremini mushrooms, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan until the mushrooms are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine and scrape all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, and allow mixture to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has reduced by half.
  • Turn off the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cold butter and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce, and simmer for 5 more minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta, potatoes, or rice.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To achieve a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to sauté the chicken and mushrooms.
  • For a more intense marsala flavor, reduce the wine by half before adding the chicken broth.
  • To prevent the sauce from curdling, whisk in the cream slowly and do not let it boil.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of chicken broth or water to thin it out.
  • Serve the chicken marsala immediately over pasta or rice, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Chicken marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, savory sauce and tender chicken, it's sure to become a favorite in your home. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, this dish is sure to impress.
