Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 bone-in chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups cranberries, thawed if frozen
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, reduce heat to medium and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.
  • Turn the chicken over and add cranberries, vinegar, honey and thyme to the pan. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Partially cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part without touching bone reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Increase heat to high, add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook uncovered, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Serve the chicken with the sauce.

CHICKEN MARSALA



Chicken Marsala image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound chicken tenders
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dried porcini mushrooms
2 shallots, minced
2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry Marsala wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Warm crusty Italian bread, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, shaking off excess. Heat a 12- to 14-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and brown each side of the chicken until golden brown, 2 minutes a side (you want to actually undercook the chicken a bit; it will finish in the pan later). Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • To the same pan, add the cremini mushrooms, butter, dried porcini and shallots and cook until deeply caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the gelatin and 1/4 cup of the broth together and let sit to bloom.
  • Add the garlic to the pan and cook for another 20 seconds. Deglaze with the Marsala, scraping up any bits. Whisk in the remaining broth and the gelatin mixture and bring to a simmer. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Nestle the browned chicken in the pan and gently simmer for 3 minutes. Top with the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Serve with warm crusty Italian bread.

CHICKEN MARSALA



Chicken Marsala image

Most versions of this dish are high in fat and calories. But in this easy chicken marsala recipe, the flavor comes from deglazing the skillet with the broth and wine, so even though I eliminated extra oil, the taste isn't lost. -Nancy Granaman, Burlington, Iowa

CHICKEN MARSALA WITHOUT THE MESS!



Chicken Marsala Without the Mess! image

I love Chicken Marsala but my stove is a disaster after sauteeing the chicken. In addition, the regular recipe is incredibly high in fat. So I developed this recipe which is extremely tasty but without all the mess! I like to use chicken "tenders", which are the tenderloin of the chicken breast, but if you can't find them, feel free to use a thin-sliced chicken breast.

Provided by CookinDiva

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 cup marsala (dry, not sweet. Sometimes I use half white wine)
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast tenders
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Start by making marsala sauce. Heat butter in saute pan; add mushrooms, garlic and shallot. Saute 5 minutes until mushrooms are done.
  • Stir marsala into mushrooms and stir up any browned bits; simmer and reduce marsala by half.
  • Separately, whisk cornstarch into a bit of the chicken broth until smooth; add remaining chicken broth. Pour this into reduced marsala and bring to boil; simmer 2-3 minutes to thicken sauce. Turn off heat and cover pan.
  • Meanwhile, preheat grill to high heat.
  • Toss raw chicken tenders with olive oil, salt and pepper (Note: if you are using regular size chicken breasts, cut them in half to make two long portions). Place chicken on hot grill and cook only 1-2 minutes each side.
  • Place grilled chicken into marsala-mushroom sauce. Allow to simmer several minutes until chicken is cooked through and sauce is thickened.
  • **If you are making this meal for company, feel free to make ahead to this point. Then right before serving time, reheat it while you cook the pasta.
  • Serve chicken over cooked pasta; garnish with parsley.

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups dry Marsala
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1 12-ounce bag cranberries
12 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries (about 2 2/3 cups), halved
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Combine Marsala and dried cherries in deep saucepan. Boil until mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup, about 8 minutes. Mix in remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium, cover pan and simmer until cranberries burst and mixture thickens, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer to bowl. Refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Cover; keep refrigerated.)

Tips:

  • To ensure your chicken tenders are perfectly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken tenders in the flour mixture and panko breadcrumbs.
  • If you don't have apple cider vinegar on hand, you can substitute white wine vinegar or lemon juice.
  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply prepare it up to the point of adding the chicken stock and cream. Then, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over medium heat, then add the chicken stock and cream and continue cooking according to the recipe.
  • If you don't have fresh cranberries on hand, you can use frozen cranberries instead. Just be sure to thaw them before using.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Chicken Tenders with Apple Cranberry Marsala Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken tenders are crispy and juicy, while the sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
