CHICKEN MARSALA FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat water for the angel hair spaghetti if that's what you will be having with this meal.
• You want the water ready for the angel hair at a certain point in the chicken preparation.
• Timing will be important to have everything come together correctly.
• Prepare the chicken breast(s).
• What you want are chicken pieces that are about a quarter inch thick.
• You can pound a breast down to that thickness if you wish.
• I prefer to use a partically thawed breast from the freezer and slice it to the proper thickness.
• This produces two or three slices from a typical large breast.
• It's easier to slice the breast if it's still partially frozen; it doesn't slide around as much.
• Mix the dry ingredients and coat the chicken pieces.
• Coat them well and completely.
• I find the natural juice in the chicken as it further defrosts is sufficient but you can use an egg wash if you need to or want to but be aware it will change the taste.
• Reserve some of the coating mix to later thicken the sauce.
• (You might want to reserve the mix before coating to avoid contamination by raw chicken juices even though you will be cooking.
• When the water is heated, mushrooms sliced, and chicken coated you can start.
• Using medium high heat in a large skillet fry the chicken pieces for two minutes until the first side is browned.
• You should not need more than two minutes for this.
• Turn the chicken pieces over.
• Directly add the mushroom slices around the sides of the chicken.
• Cook another two minutes.
• After the two minutes stir the mushrooms and then add the Marsala wine.
• Cover and turn the heat down.
• Simmer for ten minutes.
• When you've got the cover on put the angel hair in the spaghetti water to cook for eight to ten minutes depending on how "done" you like your pasta.
• After the ten minutes your pasta is done and the Chicken Marsala is ready to finish.
• Drain the pasta and set aside.
• Uncover the chicken and stack the chicken pieces up in one side of the skillet.
• Slowly add the reserved coating mix, stirring constantly.
• This is to thicken the sauce.
• Add the amount you need to thicken the sauce to the degree you want.
• Stir constantly to minimize clumping.
• (Note: if you want to minimize clumping put the coating mix into a jar, add a bit of water, close and shake until a thick mixture results.
• Add this slowly to thicken the sauce.).
• Dish and serve.

THE BEST CHICKEN MARSALA

Steps:

• Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, making 6 roughly equal pieces; they should look like large chicken tenders. Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put a chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick and 6 to 8 inches long. Transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces. Liberally sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix the flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper in a shallow bowl or plate. Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Sear 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sear the remaining 3 cutlets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. It's ok if the chicken is not completely cooked through; it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the same pan and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms are slightly softened and just beginning to release some liquid, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mushrooms will soak up the oil quickly and dry up the pan; that's ok, more liquid will release as they cook longer.) Add the shallots and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Pour in the wine and 1/2 cup water. Return the pan to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid reduces by a third and starts to thicken, 6 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the butter and continue whisking until it is melted and the sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the chicken to a platter and stir the parsley into the sauce. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more parsley.
