Chicken Marsala

By: Dominick Romano • In: Entrees • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 4 Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless, about 1.5 lbs)
  • Flour (for dredging)
  • to taste Kosher Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil (extra-virgin)
  • 4 ounces Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms (porcini mushrooms, stemmed and halved)
  • 1/2 cup Marsala Wine (sweet)
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Stock
  • 2 tbsp Butter – Unsalted
  • 1/4 cup Parsley (chopped, flat-leaf parsley)

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: 

Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound them with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2:

Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly.

Step 3:

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 it warm.

Step 4:

Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings in the pan, sauté for 1 minute to render out some of the fat.

Step 5:

Add the mushrooms and sauté until they are nicely browned and their moisture has evaporated (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6:

Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to cook out the alcohol.

Step 7:

Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute to reduce the sauce slightly.

Step 8:

Stir in the butter and return the chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken through.

Step 9:

Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
