Momositas Best Ever Chicken Marsala Recipes

BEST EVER CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Mix flour and seasoning into a bowl and set aside. Beat egg with 2 tbsp water and set aside.
• Slice thicker chicken pieces in half or use chicken cutlets. Lay 3 chicken slices (or cutlets) on a long piece of saran wrap. Top them with another piece of saran wrap and cover completely. Lay the covered chicken on a cutting board and tenderize with a kitchen mallet or hammer.
• Heat pan to medium-high heat and add 1.5 tbsp olive oil or butter, swirling the pan to coat completely.
• Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat in flour mixture. Cook chicken in 2 batches, doing only 3 pieces the first time. Brown for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, then remove to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add remaining olive oil or butter to the pan and repeat step 4.
• When chicken is done, add mushrooms to the same pan with 1/4 cup water. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until mushrooms begin to soften.
• Add marsala wine, 1/2 tsp salt, and honey to mushrooms. Bring to a boil.
• Gently place chicken back into marsala wine mixture, making sure to coat all pieces with the sauce. Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
• Cook, uncovered for approximately 30 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.
• Serve warm with your seasonal veggies of choice and enjoy!

MOMOSITA'S BEST EVER CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Pound breasts thin between saran wrap using a meat mallet (or hammer.).
• In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour and spices.
• Dredge the chicken breasts, shaking to remove any excess.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the pan and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and have given off their liquid.
• Add the Marsala wine and cream sherry and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• While the wine reduces, mix the half and half and corn starch to make a slurry.
• When the wine has reduced by half, lower the heat to medium, add the chicken stock and slurry, and return the chicken breasts to the pan.
• Cook until the breasts are cooked through and the sauce has thickened (about 5 minutes).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

THE BEST CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.
