I had the treat of having this made for me for dinner last Sunday, and it was really yummy. He didn't follow a recipe, but after looking up a chicken marsala recipe, it was very similar. Ours had zest, some juice, and slices of lemon in it, along with parsley, but otherwise, it is pretty similar to this recipe by Emeril. I really liked it, especially with the addition of the parsley and lemon. I could have licked that plate clean, but I behaved myself.
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Essence, recipe follows
2 (6 to 8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in halves and pounded thin
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini, oyster, shiitake)
3/4 cup Marsala [we just used white wine I had in the fridge]
1 cup chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped chives, for garnish [we garnished with slightly cooked lemon slices and freshly grated parmesan]
In a shallow bowl or plate combine the flour and Essence and stir to combine thoroughly. Quickly dredge the chicken breast halves in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking to remove any excess flour.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the pan and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and have given off their liquid. Add the Marsala wine and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock and cook for 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Lower the heat to medium and return the chicken breasts to the pan and continue to cook until they are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, add salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
