Chicken Marsala

I can’t believe this recipe is not already on our website. I’m going to do my best to write my version. Let me know if you have a variation on this recipe!

1/4 C Flour
4-6 Skinless boneless chicken breast cutlets: 1 or 2 per person
Mushrooms, sliced
1 -2 C. Chicken Broth
Salt and Pepper
1/4 C Marsala
4 Tbs. Butter
4 Tbs. Olive Oil

Add salt and pepper to the flour and dredge the chicken on both sides.
Melt butter and oil in pan, and brown cutlets both sides.
Remove chicken and add mushrooms and some broth
sSalt and pepper as needed.
Add marsala and cook down a bit.
You may add oregano, though I have never used it.
Add back the chicken and heat up and more broth to make a silky sauce.

Serve with risotto, rice or potato or pasta. Any vegetable is great with this dish.

MAKE DOUGH

Dissolve 1 package yeast (or 1 T) by mixing into 1 C warm water. (tap water is ok)

Add 1 t salt and 1/4 C olive oil and mix.

Stir into 2 C flour (00 flour is best) I used King Arthur Pizza flour.

Knead on floured counter top about 1 minute. Place in bowl and cover with damp towel and place in oven (turned off) to rise for 1 hour. (1st proof)

Scrape out onto floured counter and knead for two or three minutes. Sprinkle flour to keep it from sticking. Put back in oven and let rise up to 3 hours. I only did 2. (2nd proof)

Remove and knead a little to shape and spread in oily shallow baking pan. 

Turn oven on to 400 degrees F. While that was heating up, I put the dough pan on the bottom rack to bake a little.

MAKE SAUCE: (Can be made ahead.)

I used a small box of Cento chopped tomatoes. Heat on stove and add olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, basil, marjoram and then mix. Add tomato paste and a little anchovy. Cook until thick enough for pie.

CHEESE:

After spreading sauce on dough, sprinkle almost a small package of shredded Italian cheese. (Stop and Shop brand) Then add sliced mozzerella, I used almost one fresh white ball. The whiter the better. Then lastly some grated parmesan cheese.

Bake 10 minutes in the middle rack and 8 minutes on the top rack.

molto bene!
