Chicken Marsala For Two Food

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Place the flour, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a ziplock bag. Add the chicken to the bag; seal bag tightly and shake to coat chicken evenly. Set aside.
• Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (Use a stainless steel pan for the best browning. Nonstick will work too, but you won't get that nice golden color on the chicken.) Place the flour-dusted chicken in the pan, shaking off any excess first, and cook, turning once, until the chicken is golden and just barely cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, and ¼ teaspoon of salt; cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the broth, Marsala, heavy cream, thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper; use a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the pan into the liquid. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and gently boil, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced by about half, slightly thickened, and darkened in color, 10 to 15 minutes (you're going for a thin cream sauce; it won't start to thicken until the very end of the cooking time). Add the chicken back to the pan, along with any juices that accumulated on the plate. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is warmed through and the sauce thickens a bit more, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve.
• Note: If your chicken breasts are large (like the ones in the photos that are about ¾ lb. each), it's best to first cut them horizontally to form four flat fillets, then pound them to an even ¼-inch thickness. If you pound large chicken breasts without first halving them, they'll be huge. Of course, you could also pound them thin first and then cut them in half vertically; the only drawback is that they'll lose their natural shape (which, admittedly, is not a big deal!).

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour and Essence and stir to combine thoroughly. Quickly dredge the chicken breast halves in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking to remove any excess flour.
• 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 bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Lower the heat to medium and return the chicken breasts to the pan and continue to cook until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, add salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts between sheets of cling film and beat, using a meat mallet or rolling pin, until about 5mm thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Put the flour on a plate and dip the chicken in it to coat lightly, shaking off any excess.
• Melt half the butter and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Set aside.
• Wipe the pan with kitchen paper. Heat the remaining butter and oil over a medium heat and gently fry the shallot and garlic for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Add the Marsala and increase the heat to high. Cook until the liquid has reduced in volume by about half. Turn the heat back down to medium, add the stock and chicken. Cook for about 10 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp chef's knife to slice them horizontally into two even pieces (cutlets). Transfer the cutlets, one at a time, to a ziploc bag. Using a meat hammer or a heavy rolling pin, gently pound each cutlet to a 1/4-inch thickness.
• Transfer all the pounded cutlets to a bigger ziploc bag. Add salt and pepper to taste, seal and massage to season. Then, add the flour and massage again so every piece is thoroughly coated.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Tap off the excess flour of each cutlet and place them in the skillet, cooking - turning once - until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and reserve in a plate.
• Add more olive oil if needed. Then, sauté the shallot and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the butter and, once melted, add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release their juices and gain some color. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil, cooking until the sauce thickens.
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the chopped parsley and butter. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Add the chicken cutlets back to the skillet, swirling them so they get coated in the sauce. Cook just to warm them through.
• Serve immediately, with rice, mashed potatoes or buttered pasta!

CHICKEN MARSALA FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat water for the angel hair spaghetti if that's what you will be having with this meal.
• You want the water ready for the angel hair at a certain point in the chicken preparation.
• Timing will be important to have everything come together correctly.
• Prepare the chicken breast(s).
• What you want are chicken pieces that are about a quarter inch thick.
• You can pound a breast down to that thickness if you wish.
• I prefer to use a partically thawed breast from the freezer and slice it to the proper thickness.
• This produces two or three slices from a typical large breast.
• It's easier to slice the breast if it's still partially frozen; it doesn't slide around as much.
• Mix the dry ingredients and coat the chicken pieces.
• Coat them well and completely.
• I find the natural juice in the chicken as it further defrosts is sufficient but you can use an egg wash if you need to or want to but be aware it will change the taste.
• Reserve some of the coating mix to later thicken the sauce.
• (You might want to reserve the mix before coating to avoid contamination by raw chicken juices even though you will be cooking.
• When the water is heated, mushrooms sliced, and chicken coated you can start.
• Using medium high heat in a large skillet fry the chicken pieces for two minutes until the first side is browned.
• You should not need more than two minutes for this.
• Turn the chicken pieces over.
• Directly add the mushroom slices around the sides of the chicken.
• Cook another two minutes.
• After the two minutes stir the mushrooms and then add the Marsala wine.
• Cover and turn the heat down.
• Simmer for ten minutes.
• When you've got the cover on put the angel hair in the spaghetti water to cook for eight to ten minutes depending on how "done" you like your pasta.
• After the ten minutes your pasta is done and the Chicken Marsala is ready to finish.
• Drain the pasta and set aside.
• Uncover the chicken and stack the chicken pieces up in one side of the skillet.
• Slowly add the reserved coating mix, stirring constantly.
• This is to thicken the sauce.
• Add the amount you need to thicken the sauce to the degree you want.
• Stir constantly to minimize clumping.
• (Note: if you want to minimize clumping put the coating mix into a jar, add a bit of water, close and shake until a thick mixture results.
• Add this slowly to thicken the sauce.).
• Dish and serve.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• To prepare the chicken, season the flour with salt and pepper. Slice the chicken breasts to 1/4-inch-thick medallions. Coat with the flour and tap off any excess.
• Next, in a saucepan over medium heat, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and allow to warm. After warming, add the chicken and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat the process. After cooking all the chicken, hold warm covered on a plate. Add the marsala to the pan over medium-high heat. This will deglaze the pan. After deglazing, reduce the wine by three-fourths volume so 2 ounces remain. Then add the mushrooms. Stir the mushrooms, scraping the sides, then finish with the veal stock. Allow the stock to warm and thicken for 4 to 5 minutes, and then remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and finish by spooning over the cooked chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs or cheese if desired.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Prepare chicken by cutting away any visible fat removed and cut into bite sized pieces. Slice mushrooms, dice the onion and mince the garlic, set aside.
• In a frying pan using a small amount of olive oil sauté chicken pieces seasoning with salt and pepper, in several batches and place in a colander placed over a bowl for excess grease to drain.
• Place 1 cup of chicken into each pint jar along with ½ cup sliced raw mushrooms. Using the same pan that you cooked the chicken add the diced onion, garlic and oregano.
• Saute until the onion is soft but not brown. Add 2 cups dry Marsala wine and boil hard for 1 minute (to evaporate the alcohol) stirring all the bits together and add 2 quarts chicken stock.
• Bring to a boil and let simmer a few minutes to let the flavors combine.
• On a dishtowel place your hot jars. Using your funnel in each jar fill with the stock mixture filling to 1" headspace. Remove air bubbles and refill to the proper headspace if necessary.
• Taking a clean paper towel wet it with vinegar and wipe the rims of the jars removing any food particles that would interfere with a good seal.
• Using your magic wand extract the lids from the hot water and place them on the now cleaned rims. Add your rings to the tops of each of the jars and turn to seal just "finger tight".
• Make sure your rack is on the bottom of the pressure canner and place the jars in bottom. Lock the lid and turn up the heat bring the canner to a boil.
• Vent steam for 10 minutes, then close the vent by adding the weighted gauge or pressure regulator (for dial gauge canner). Process for 90 minutes at 10 lbs of pressure (11 lbs for dial gauge canner). If you choose to do pints they should be processed for 75 minutes. (Adjust pressure for altitude) When complete turn off the heat and let pressure return to zero naturally.
• Wait two minutes longer and open vent. Remove canner lid. Wait 10 minutes then remove jars and place on dishtowel in a place that they will sit overnight to cool. Do not touch or move them till the next morning. Your food may still be boiling inside the jars. That is normal!
• When ready to serve, drain liquid into a saucepan and thicken with cornstarch or flour butter mix, add 2 tablespoons of cream or sour cream (I like it plain-as is) and add contents of jar until heated through.Ladle over Angel hair pasta or rice.

CHICKEN MARSALA MILANESE

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap, or a cut-open zip-top bag, and use a meat pounder to flatten the meat to about 1/4-inch thickness.
• Season chicken on both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and cayenne, and transfer to a large plate. Sift flour over both sides of the chicken until the surface is completely coated. Transfer to a clean plate.
• Brush away any excess flour from the plate. Sprinkle about 1/4 inch of panko onto the surface of the plate.
• Pour the egg over the floured chicken and use a brush to paint evenly over the meat. Flip and repeat on the other side. Once chicken has been thoroughly coated with the egg, pick up each piece with tongs, letting the excess egg drip off, and place on the plate of panko.
• Generously sprinkle panko over the top of the chicken and press in with your hands or tongs. Flip the chicken over, and sprinkle more panko over the top. Repeat until the chicken is well breaded all over.
• Sprinkle a light coating of the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top of the chicken and press lightly into the breading with your hands. Flip and repeat on the other side.
• Transfer to a plate sprinkled with more panko. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to pan-fry.
• To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over high heat; add the mushrooms and a large pinch of salt. Cook mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until well browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in flour. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 2 minutes.
• Pour in Marsala and lemon juice and use a spatula or spoon to scrape any caramelization from the bottom of the pan. Pour in chicken broth and raise heat to medium-high. Season with black pepper and cayenne and bring to a simmer. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reduces and thickens slightly. Keep hot until needed or let cool and reheat when needed. Before serving, some freshly chopped parsley can be stirred in.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Serve immediately with Marsala sauce underneath or spooned over the top.
