recipe for chicken marsala
hi everyone, this is stephanie manley withcopykat.com and you might wonder if olive garden is my favorite restaurant. well, itis. so today we are going to do the chicken marsala from the olive garden and this requiresa special ingredient. and if you don't drink wine, i don't think you can really make thisdish without it tasting well. so my big tip on marsala wine is buy the drykind. one of my worst cooking mistakes ever
recipe for chicken marsala, was making this dish with a sweet wine. wheni say sweet, we're talking honey sweet. that was my biggest cooking mistake ever or atleast over the last ten years, so dry marsala wine here. this recipe is pretty easy to make. i havejust a few simple things in here. we have
flour, a little bit of oregano. we have saltand pepper, that's what we're going to dredge the chicken in. then we have chicken breast.we're going to cook it in a combination of oil and butter because it tastes great. andwe're going to finish it with a wonderful sauce of mushrooms in marsala wine. so letme show you what you need to do to get started on this recipe. okay, the first thing that we need to do iswe need to go ahead and season up our flour. and i am going to add my oregano. i'm goingto add some salt and some pepper to this flour. this will help season it up really nice. we'rejust going to stir this in. so we're just going to dredge the chicken in. and you knowyou should never touch raw chicken with your
hands and cross contaminate it. so i liketo use a fork so i'm not actually touching the raw chicken. so we're just going to dredgeour chicken in the flour, get it nice and coated. we're going to let it rest for a couplemoments and then we'll cook it. so this recipe requires fresh mushrooms andi'm going to show you a little tip in cleaning mushrooms. just take a couple of paper towels,wet them down and just dust off the dirt that's on the mushrooms. sometimes there's just alittle bit of soil that they grow in that's on there. generally not much. this is a lotbetter than actually running the mushrooms under the water and scrubbing them. then yourmushrooms stay nice and intact. so again, just rub them off.
alright. so when you actually cut the mushrooms,before you cut them, i just want you take the stem and just pop it out and put it tothe side. you could make a broth out of these mushrooms if you're ever just making somebeef stock or something, these are great for stocks. they're a little tough to eat, sowe go ahead and just pop these out. you can see it's really easy to do. alright. and thenwe're just going to go ahead and slice these into nice, small slices. okay, so it's time to cook the chicken. weare simply going to pour the oil in the pan and let it get hot which should just takea couple of seconds and then we're going to put the chicken into the pan. okay. so nowwe're just going to simply lay our chicken
in the pan and we're going to let it cookuntil it gets nice and golden brown on one side and then we're going to flip it overand cook up some more chicken. so after about three to four minutes, go aheadand try to turn your chicken over. it should be nice and golden brown and if it is, turnit over and we'll let it cook for another three to four minutes on the other side. andat this time go ahead and add in your mushrooms. so when the chicken is brown on the secondside, go ahead and take it out of the pan for a second. use a clean fork when you doit. you don't want to cross contaminate with your other fork. and we're just going to stiraround these mushrooms for a second. and the next thing i'm going to do is i'm going togo ahead and add in some wine. i'm going to
add in the marsala wine. i'm going to addabout a half cup in. and i wanted to just kind of get the brown bits that are on thebottom of the pan and i want to kind of stir those off of the bottom of the pan. that'swhere all the great flavor is. now, it's actually interesting. when you actuallycook with wine, most of the alcohol doesn't really cook out of it. most of it actuallystays in, so if you can't have alcohol i don't advise doing this. so once this cooks forjust a couple of seconds here, we're going to go ahead and add in the butter and whenwe do, this is going to make a nice thick sauce that we're going to pour over the chicken. alright. so our sauce is thickened and readyto go and just before serving this, you want
to spoon on a little bit of the mushroom sauce.see how fantastic it is? you could serve this up, it would be great with some mashed potatoesor even some cooked pasta. but there you go, there is the olive garden chicken marsala.this comes from one of my favorite restaurants. so please be sure to give me a big thumbsup if you like olive garden recipes and leave me a comment. tell me what recipe you'd liketo see me cook next. thanks for watching.
