CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH PROSCIUTTO, MOZZARELLA AND MARSALA



Chicken Scaloppine With Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Marsala image

From David Rosengarten's It's All American Food. This will be salty because of the prosciutto so be sure to use low salt chicken broth. A large amount of butter is called for in the original recipe, but I used less than half the amount and I still thought the chicken tasted great!

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (2 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/4 lb prosciutto, very thinly sliced
2 large eggs
flour (for dredging)
10 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used about 5 tbl)
4 slices thinly sliced deli mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dry marsala
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts between pieces of waxed paper and pound them with a mallet until about 1/4" thick.
  • Lay out slices of prosciutto side by side on counter, with the length of the slice facing away from you.
  • Place one of the chicken cutlets on top of 3 or 4 prosciutto slices. Fold the upper and lower edges of the prosciutto slices in and over the chicken cutlet. The cutlet will be partially covered by the prosciutto. Flip the cutlet over and it will be totally covered. Repeat with all 4 cutlets. (That seemed like a lot of work to me. I cut a pocket in the chicken cutlets and inserted diced prosciutto. Turned out just fine.).
  • Break eggs into a wide shallow bowl and beat well.
  • Place enough flour to dust the chicken in another wide shallow bowl.
  • Dip each cutlet into the egg, coating well. Let excess egg drip off and then dip lightly in flour.
  • In two 8" saute pans, place 3 tbl butter (I used half that amount) and heat over medium heat.
  • When butter is foaming, place 2 cutlets in each pan.
  • Cook the cutlets until golden on the outside and just done inside (about 2 or 3 minutes per side).
  • Preheat broiler.
  • When chicken is done, remove cutlets to broiler pan.
  • Top each piece with one tablespoon (or more) of parmesan and then a slice of mozzarella.
  • Place under broiler until cheese has completely melted and browned slightly.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Spill butter out of saute pans and wipe them lightly with a paper towel. (I didn't do this and used the pan juices and butter in the sauce.).
  • Return pans to high heat and add 1/4 cup marsala and 1/4 cup chicken stock to each pan.
  • Boil quickly until only 3 or 4 tbl of liquid is left in each pan.
  • Turn heat to low and place 2 tbl of butter in each pan (again, I used less). Swirl with a whisk until a creamy brown sauce is formed.
  • Divide cutlets between 2 plates and pour marsala sauce over and around them.
  • Serve immediately.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
8 ounces crimini or porcini mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Slip the cutlets into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden, turning once - do this in batches if the pieces don't fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
  • Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings in the pan, saute for 1 minute to render out some of the fat. Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the butter and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI



Chicken Scallopini image

While many have heard of veal scallopini, you can make this Italian dish with most any meat or even vegetables. The trick is to use a demi-glace of the same style -- i.e., a venison demi if using deer. You can 'fake' a demi-glace by reducing an appropriate brown stock and adding a water and flour slurry to thicken. Makes an awesome romantic dinner for two.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 clove garlic, pressed
¼ cup butter, softened
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces sliced mushrooms
20 capers, or to taste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup white wine
2 tablespoons chicken-flavored demi-glace, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 lemon slices

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
  • Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
  • Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
  • Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

PORK SCALOPPINE WITH MUSHROOMS AND MARSALA



Pork Scaloppine with Mushrooms and Marsala image

Categories     Sauce     Mushroom     Pork     Side     Fry     Marsala     Boil

Yield makes 12 scaloppine, serving 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/4 pounds (or a little more) boneless center-cut pork loin
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more if needed
5 tablespoons butter, or more if needed
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 fresh sage leaves
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (a single variety such as porcini, shiitake, cremini, white mushrooms, or a mixture)
1 cup dry Marsala
1 cup light stock (chicken, turkey, or vegetable broth), or more if needed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Recommended Equipment
A meat mallet
A heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan, 14 inches in diameter

Steps:

  • Trim the pork loin, leaving only a thin layer of fat, and cut it crosswise into twelve equal slices. Using a meat mallet (or other heavy implement), flatten and spread the slices into scaloppine about 1/4 inch thick. Season lightly on both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper. Dredge the scaloppine in the flour, coating both sides, and shake off the excess.
  • Meanwhile, put 4 tablespoons of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in the skillet, set over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to bubble, lay four or more scaloppine in the skillet-as many as can lie flat without crowding-and let them sizzle in place until the underside is opaque and tinged with brown, about 3 minutes. Flip them over and color the second side for a couple of minutes; then lift out the slices, let the fat drain off, and put them on a platter. Add a bit more olive oil and/or butter to the skillet if it seems dry, and fry the rest of the scaloppine in the same way.
  • When all of the pork is browned, pour off the frying oil but leave any crusty caramelization in the skillet. Put in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter, and return to medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming, drop in the shallots and sage leaves, and cook, stirring, for a minute. Scatter the sliced mushrooms in the pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir continuously as the mushrooms sizzle and start to release their juices. Cook, tossing and stirring, until the moisture has evaporated and the mushroom slices are shrunken, soft, and caramelized, 6 minutes or more.
  • Pour in the Marsala, raise the heat, and stir until it boils. Let the wine bubble and reduce for a minute or two, then stir in the stock. Bring to a boil, and cook at a gentle bubbling pace until the sauce is slightly viscous but loose, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • One by one, slide the scaloppine into the simmering sauce, and pour in any juices accumulated on the platter. Shake the pan, spoon sauce over the scaloppine, and flip them over once or twice, until they are heated through and glistening with sauce on both sides. If the sauce is too dense to coat all the meat, loosen it with a bit of stock. Turn off the heat, sprinkle the parsley all over, and serve.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINI MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Chicken Scaloppini Marsala with Mushrooms Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by rossboys

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup dry white wine
1 cup raisins
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast half(halves), each 5 to 6 ounces, cut crosswise and diagonally into 2 equal pieces
extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra as needed
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 ⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
1 ⁄2 cup chopped shallot(s)
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
3 ⁄4 pound cultivated mushrooms, stems trimmed, caps thinly sliced
3 large fresh sage leaf(leaves), or 1 teaspoon dried sage
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce, or barbecue sauce
3 ⁄4 cup heavy cream
chopped fresh Italian parsley, for garnish
Classic Chicken Stock, or good-quality canned chicken broth, or water

Steps:

  • Step 1 - Steeping raisins in wine: In a small sauté pan or saucepan, combine the wine and raisins. Bring to a boil over high heat; then, turn off the heat and set aside to steep. Step 2 - Flattening the scaloppini: Coat the chicken breasts with a little oil. Place 2 halves, spaced apart, in a large heavy-duty plastic bag. With a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, gently flatten the pieces to scaloppini 1⁄4 to 1⁄3 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining halves. Step 3 - Dusting the scaloppini: Arrange the scaloppini on parchment paper. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly on both sides with flour. Step 4 - Cooking the scaloppini: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add scaloppini, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once and adding a little butter. Transfer to a platter. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Step 5 - Sautéing the mushrooms: Spoon fat from the skillet. Add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until the shallots begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and the sage. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Step 6 - Making the sauce: Add the wine and, if you like, the raisins. Cook, stirring and scraping to deglaze the pan deposits, until the liquid reduces by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sage. Stir in the hoisin and simmer to thicken slightly. Stir in the cream and bring to a simmer. Step 7 - Saucing the scaloppini: Return the scaloppini to the pan. Simmer about 1 minute to rewarm them while stirring with a spoon to coat them with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parsley. If the sauce looks too thick, thin with a little stock, broth, or water. Step 8 - Serving the scaloppini: Divide the chicken scaloppini among serving plates. Spoon the sauce over and around the chicken. Sprinkle with more parsley.

CHICKEN WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SAGE



Chicken with Prosciutto and Sage image

This recipe is inspired by saltimbocca, a classic Roman dish. In this variation we've replaced the traditional veal cutlets with chicken breast cutlets.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 fresh whole sage leaves, plus 4 minced leaves
4 (6 to 8 ounces each) chicken cutlets
4 slices (3 ounces) thinly sliced prosciutto
4 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup reduced-sodium canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon cold butter

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • Lay 1 sage leaf lengthwise on each cutlet, then wrap a prosciutto slice around middle of each cutlet, encasing sage. Flatten with the palm of your hand to help prosciutto adhere to the chicken. Dredge cutlets in seasoned flour; tap off excess.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat. Cook 2 cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove cutlets, and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 2 cutlets.
  • Add wine and broth to skillet; cook over high heat until reduced by three-quarters, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool 1 minute. Add butter and minced sage; stir until butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Spoon sauce onto plates; top with cutlets. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the chicken breasts, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. This will help the chicken cook evenly and quickly.
  • Make sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also help to evenly distribute the heat.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. If the skillet is too crowded, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until it is golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, add the prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, and Marsala wine to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve the chicken scalopini immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Chicken scaloppine is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender chicken, salty prosciutto, melted mozzarella cheese, and rich Marsala wine sauce is simply irresistible. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dish, give chicken scaloppine a try.
