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!

EASY CHICKEN MARSALA IN THE CROCKPOT



Easy Chicken Marsala in the Crockpot image

A Facebook challenge to cook something tonight in the Crockpot from the Crockpot FB page. Checked their recipies and tried their version of Chicken Marsala. Wanted to put it here for future reference and caloric/carb values. It is still in the crockpot with an hour to go and the house smells fantastic. I can't wait for my first bite. Serving over rice...haha, had some leftover from the other night...perfect way to use it up. I am low carbing and want to know how bad/good this is for my way of eating right now before I sink my teeth into it. Made a few adjustments to the original recipe....used unsalted butter (although it didn't specify what type of butter), garlic powder instead of garlic SALT (personally and seriously, I think the soup itself has enough salt)....Omitted salt (again) from original recipe. You can always add salt in to taste when you eat. Hope you make it and enjoy it. I will edit this recipe after I actually try it......1/2 hour to go now!!!! Edited on 3/13/11: Changed 1/2 cup butter (Yikes, one stick....now Paula Deen would love this!!) to 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick unsalted butter). Although, you probably leave it off completely if it is a concern. Also changed the number of servings as well. Edited, yes again, on 4.8.11!! It was brought to my attention (thanks, you know who you are!!) that it maybe unclear on the amount of mushroom soup. Did a bit of investigation....2 smaller (10 3/4 oz.) cans of (Cambell's) mushroom soup is EXACTLY the 21 1/2 oz. needed in this recipe. If you plan to use a FAMILY-SIZED can it is 26 oz. that you would be putting in.

EASY CREAMY CHICKEN MARSALA



Easy Creamy Chicken Marsala image

I got this recipe from my sister in law who learned it from her father. After trying Chicken Marsala recipe after recipe and finding something wrong with every one of them I was very pleased when I tried this.

Provided by Christine Schnepp

Categories     Other Sauces

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts; cooked
1 small can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup half and half
1 small jar of artichoke hearts
1/2 cup marsala wine
1 cup mushrooms; sliced
1-2 tbsp butter
parsley flakes

Steps:

  • 1. I can not stress how easy this recipe is! Simply cook your chicken breasts how ever you prefer them; grilled, fried, ect. Add the rest of the ingredients into a small saucepan, cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes to reduce wine and soften mushrooms, and serve on top of the chicken. Garnish with some fresh parsley and it looks and tastes like you slaved in the kitchen ;)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use free-range, organic chicken, and high-quality mushrooms and Marsala wine.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in steamed chicken instead of seared chicken.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine: Not all Marsala wines are created equal. Look for a Marsala wine that is at least 3 years old and has a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Don't boil the sauce: When simmering the sauce, don't let it boil. This will cause the alcohol in the wine to evaporate and will result in a bland sauce.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken Marsala is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and elegant meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, give Chicken Marsala a try. You won't be disappointed!
