HERB ROASTED CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOM & MARSALA WINE



Herb Roasted Chicken With Wild Mushroom & Marsala Wine image

Make and share this Herb Roasted Chicken With Wild Mushroom & Marsala Wine recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Mom2Eight

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 lb) whole free-range chicken
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 garlic cloves, whole
6 sprigs thyme
4 sprigs rosemary
2 lbs assorted wild mushrooms, large mushrooms cut in half* (oyster, white button, chanterelle)
6 medium shallots, cut in half lengthwise
1 cup sweet marsala wine
1 cup chicken stock
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Wash the chicken under cold running water then pat dry. Combine the garlic and butter and spread the mixture under the skin of the chicken and all over the body. Season the bird all over including the cavity with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Take half of the thyme and rosemary and put this along with the garlic and any remaining butter inside the cavity. Fold the wing tips under the bird and tie legs together with kitchen twine.
  • Take a large roasting dish and add the mushrooms and shallots. Scatter remaining thyme and rosemary over the pan and add the marsala and stock (depending on the depth of your roasting pan you may not need all of the marsala and stock -- it should be enough to cover the bottom of the pan but not submerge the mushrooms and shallots). Place the chicken on top and drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the whole pan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Roast in the hot oven for 1 hour or until the internal temp of the bird registers 160 F between the leg and thigh. You may need to add more stock to the bottom of the pan if all the liquid evaporates while cooking. When done, place the bird on a plate and rest for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile take the pan with the mushrooms, shallots and juices and gently simmer over low heat on the stove top while scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the browned bits and extract all the flavor. Skim any excess fat off the jus and discard. Give it a final taste and seasoning before serving the marsala, mushrooms, and shallots with the herb roasted chicken and jus.

THE BEST CHICKEN MARSALA



The Best Chicken Marsala image

This was restaurant quality. It came out perfectly. The little bit of breading on the tenderloins thickened the sauce. The homemade broth really makes a difference(I cook my chicken with onion, celery and carrot when I make broth) The little bit of cream of mushroom soup or cream add a creaminess. There are plenty of mushrooms and onions. The last time I made it I only had Cream Sherry, but the sweetness was really good. I probably poured a half cup over. The Italian breadcrumbs add that touch of herb that you need for it to really taste like you want it to taste.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lbs chicken tenderloins
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs (Progresso)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 cup sherry wine (or to taste)
1/4 cup marsala (or to taste)
1 -2 cup homemade chicken broth
16 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 onions, sliced
2 tablespoons cream (or cream of mushroom soup)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dredge chicken tenderloins, flattened a little with your hand before dredging, in breadcrumbs and saute in 2 tablespoons olive oil (just enough olive oil to cover bottom of the skillet) in a large skillet over medium low heat until lightly browned and beginning to cook on edges, then turn and brown other side. Then turn off heat and leave in the skillet until other ingredients are done.
  • Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large skillet and saute onions until carmelized, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  • Add mushrooms to skillet and salt and pepper them to taste. Cook until tender.
  • Add garlic to mushrooms and saute about 1 minute. Remove from skillet and put over chicken which should be done before now.
  • Deglaze pan with a little water or wine to get all the juices.
  • Add onions, mushrooms, marsala to chicken pan and desired amount of broth. I covered it about half way. I didn't measure. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer. Simmer for a couple of minutes to blend your flavors. Adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if desired and more wine if desired. Simmer for another couple of minutes if you add wine.
  • Stir in cream before serving.
  • Serve over noodles or potatoes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the final dish, so use the best you can afford.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use a good quality Marsala wine: The Marsala wine is a key ingredient in this dish, so use a good quality wine that you enjoy drinking.
  • Reduce the Marsala wine until it is thick and syrupy: This will help to concentrate the flavor of the wine and create a delicious sauce.
  • Serve the chicken Marsala over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and creamy mashed potatoes or rice, it's a perfect meal for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dinner, give Chicken Marsala a try.
