chicken marsala

I've eaten chicken marsala at Olive Garden and Carrabba's restaurants and I've cooked it at home before, but tonight's new recipe was really good. I tweaked it a little though....I have never found shallots or onions in the dish at either restaurant, so I left them out. Also left out the parsley. I increased the wine to about 1/2 cup and increased the cream to about 1/3 cup. Fresh baby bello mushrooms really fit in nicely. I grilled the chicken on the gas grill with some hickory chips in the smoker tray. It turned out great if I do say so myself. Tony cleaned his plate! The pic doesn't do justice due to the lighting from the range hood.

Recipe #2268

Ingredients

CHICKEN SPICE

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

1/4 teaspoon marjoram

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 pound chicken breasts (4 breasts)

Olive oil

MARSALA SAUCE

1/3 cup butter

1 slice (1/2 ounce) prosciutto ham (small dice)

2 teaspoons shallots, minced

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

8 ounces fresh mushrooms (sliced)

1/4 cup Marsala (Lombardo dry wine)

1 cup chicken stock

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced

2 tablespoons heavy cream

How to Make

Step 1: Set grill to high and preheat.

Step 2: Combine ingredients for the chicken spice in a small bowl. Use your fingers to crush the spices in the bowl, to make a finer blend. Set aside.

Step 3: Brush chicken breasts generously with olive oil. Sprinkle spice blend over both sides of chicken breast, and gently rub into meat. Set aside.

Step 4: Turn heat to medium and melt butter in a medium-size sauce pan. Turn heat up to medium-high and saute prosciutto for 2-3 minutes, making sure not to burn the butter.

How to Make

Step 5: Add shallots and mushrooms, and saute for about until vegetables are tender.

Step 6: Add the garlic, and saute another 30 seconds.

Step 7: Add the Marsala wine, and simmer about 30 seconds, then add freshly ground pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 8: In a small bowl, dissolve corn starch in chicken stock. Add stock to the saucepan, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Add parsley and cream to the sauce, and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until thick. Remove from heat, and cover until needed.

Step 9: Grill the chicken pieces for 6-8 minutes per side, or until done. Turn chicken one quarter turn on each side while cooking, to make the criss cross grill marks on each side of the chicken.

Step 10: Arrange each chicken breast on a plate.

Step 11: Spoon 1/4 of the Marsala wine sauce over each serving of chicken, and serve.

Checkrate/Likes Chicken Marsala is what I usually order if I go to Carrabba's. I've always wondered if the sauce had coffee in it, and I didn't know it had ham as an ingredient.
