CREAMY CHICKEN MARSALA
I got this recipe from my roommate who had grown up with it. I try not to eat much meat but the sauce alone over rice or pasta is to die for. It is such a great mixture of savory, earthy, salty and a tiny bit sweet.

Steps:
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Whisk together the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Press each chicken breast into the flour mixture on both sides. Tap off excess flour.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat until the butter gives off a slightly toasted fragrance, and pan-fry the chicken until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Set aside. Melt 1 more tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes; stir in the shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, cremini mushrooms, and garlic, and cook until the mushrooms have given off their juice and begun to brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fettuccini, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Place the pasta into a serving dish, and toss with 2 tablespoons of butter; season to taste with salt and black pepper, and keep warm.
- After the mushroom juices have evaporated, pour Marsala wine into the sauce, and scrape up and dissolve any browned flavor bits in the bottom of the skillet. Turn heat to high, and stir until half the wine evaporates, about 3 minutes; stir in mascarpone, Dijon mustard, and chicken broth; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly, another 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; return cooked chicken breasts to the sauce. Cook until the chicken juices run clear and the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve with buttered fettuccine.

CREAMY CHICKEN MARSALA
Steps:
- Wash chicken and pat dry; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Dip chicken in the flour to lightly coat both sides. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with oil. Add the chicken and saute for about 2 minutes. Turn and add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer, stirring mushrooms occasionally. Add the Marsala wine, chicken broth, and lemon and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Cover and continue cooking for 5 minutes longer. Add the basil, cream, and green onions and cook for 2 minutes longer. Serve with greens and rice or potatoes.
Tips:
- To achieve a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of store-bought.
- For a crispy chicken, pat the chicken breasts dry before dredging them in flour.
- To prevent the chicken from becoming dry, do not overcook it. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- To make the sauce creamier, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- For a more intense marsala flavor, use a dry marsala wine. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, use a sweet marsala wine.
- Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or thyme for a pop of color and flavor.
