Recipe
of the month
Chicken
Marsala
If you enjoy cooking with wine, then this recipe
is easy enough for even a beginner cook, but
it is still quality enough to serve to others.
(Serves 4). 
1 oz. x Dried Porcini Mushrooms
8 oz. x Fresh White Mushrooms
4 x Chicken Breast Halves, Skinned
Flour For Dredging
Salt & Pepper
3 x Tablespoons Olive Oil
2/3 x Cup Dry Marsala Wine
1/4 x Cup Fresh Chopped Parsley
This chicken recipe is delicious and easy and
quick to prepare, in addition to being healthy.
This meal is best served with a herb flavored
rice, or garlic mashed potatoes. A tasty sautéed
green such as spinach or broccoli will also
round out the meal nicely.
To cook, re-hydrate the porcini mushrooms in
1 cup of warm water for about 30 minutes. Then
remove the mushrooms from the water, pat them
dry with paper towels and then chop coarsely.
Strain the porcini water, and set it aside to
use later. Slice the fresh mushrooms thinly
and then dredge the chicken breasts in flour
seasoned lightly with salt and pepper, and then
brown in a skillet with the oil over medium
heat. Once well browned, remove the chicken
and set aside.
Cook the sliced mushrooms in the same pan until
tender and golden brown. If the pan becomes
too dry, use a little of the porcini liquid
to moisten it. Return the chicken pieces to
the pan with the mushrooms, and add the porcini,
the Marsala wine and 1/4 cup of the porcini
liquid. Taste, and season with salt and pepper
if needed. Turn down to medium low heat, cover,
and cook for about 20 minutes. If the juices
begin to evaporate too much while cooking, add
a few tablespoons of the porcini water. When
completed, the sauce should be thick and creamy.
To serve, place chicken pieces on a platter,
spoon over the juices, and sprinkle with the
fresh parsley.
