CREAMY CHICKEN MARSALA PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Unroll pizza crust dough in pan; press dough to edges of pan. Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook about 7 minutes, turning frequently, until lightly browned. Remove chicken from skillet; cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside.
• To same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the butter. Add onions and mushrooms; cook over medium-high heat about 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in wine; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wine is reduced by half (about 6 tablespoons). Stir in whipping cream, parsley, salt, pepper and chicken. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and creamy.
• Sprinkle pizza crust with 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese. Spoon chicken mixture evenly over cheeses. Top with remaining cheeses. Bake 10 to 12 minutes longer or until cheeses are melted and crust is golden brown.

CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.
• Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Slip the cutlets into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden, turning once - do this in batches if the pieces don't fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings in the pan, saute for 1 minute to render out some of the fat. Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the butter and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

CHICKEN MARSALA PIZZA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook mushrooms until browned and slightly charred. Transfer mushrooms to blender, but don't blend yet.
• With the pan still on medium heat, cook garlic and shallots in remaining butter until slightly soft and translucent, about 60 seconds. Add the flour and stir until cooked, about a minute. Then add the marsala wine and stock, stirring to scrape browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Add ¼ tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper, stirring to combine.
• Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture has reduced and thickened slightly. Then add liquid to the mushrooms in the blender.
• Blend liquid and mushrooms until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
• Make your pizza dough according to directions, up through step 8 (2 hours before baking, let the dough rise in a well-oiled cast iron pan). If using a different pizza dough recipe, adjust your timing accordingly.
• Mix the fontina and mozzarella cheeses together in a bowl.
• Preheat oven to 450°F with oven racks in the lower and upper third positions.
• 30 minutes before baking top the dough with a layer of shredded cheese blend, covering as much of the visible crust as you can to prevent the sauce from seeping through. Reserve about ¼-½ cup of cheese for later.
• Dollop small spoonfuls of the sauce on over the cheese - about 6-10 dollops is enough. You do not need a lot of sauce for this pizza and you will have about half or more than half of the sauce leftover.
• Layer on the shredded chicken, then top it with the remaining cheese blend and finish with the fresh oregano leaves.
• Bake the pizza on the lower oven rack for 18-20 minutes. When the timer goes off, slide a spatula carefully under the pizza to check the bottom. If it's crisp and golden brown and pulls away easily from the pan, you can remove it from the oven. If the bottom still seems pale or soft, leave it in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. If the bottom is good, but the top still seems light, transfer the pizza to the upper rack for an additional 2-3 minutes.As KAF cautions: "Home ovens can vary a lot, so use the visual cues and your own preferences to gauge when you've achieved the perfect bake."
• Remove the pizza from the oven and run a knife around the edge to separate it from the pan. Let the pan cool for 5-10 minutes on a cooling rack, then remove the pizza from the pan so that the crust doesn't get soggy. The pizza is pretty sturdy so you might be able to do this with one large spatula and a lot of confidence - otherwise use two spatulas and work quickly to transfer the pizza to a serving platter or onto the cooling rack.
• Slice the pizza using kitchen shears (seriously, it totally works) and serve it while it's still warm.

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.

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.

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.
