Chicken Marinade

Mashed Potatoes

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.

Marsala Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and golden brown.

  3. 5

    Add Marsala Wine

    Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly.

  4. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until tender.

  2. 8

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
