Chicken

Pommes Puree

Marsala Sauce

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Coat the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken thighs in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Making Pommes Puree

  1. 3

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Yukon Gold potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

  2. 4

    Mash the Potatoes

    Add butter, heavy cream, and salt to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.

Preparing Marsala Sauce

  1. 5

    Sauté Shallots

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced shallots and sauté until translucent.

  2. 6

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in Marsala wine and chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer and reduce for about 5-10 minutes. Stir in butter until melted and smooth.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve

    On a plate, place a generous scoop of pommes puree, top with the crispy chicken, and drizzle with the Marsala sauce. Enjoy!
