Chicken Marsala Recipe
Instructions
If you cant find already thinly pounded chicken cutlets here is how you can do it at home.
1) 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.
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.
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 warm.
4) Lower the heat to medium and saut the shallots and garlic until tender and translucent,about 1 minute. Now add the mushrooms and saut; until they are nicely browned and tender, about 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper to taste. 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 2 to 3 minutes to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper. and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
