Chicken Marsala

Method

Chicken Marsala

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

  4. 4

    Deglaze

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the butter until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Penne Pasta

  1. 7

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 8

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta with your choice of creamy vodka sauce or Mama's marinara sauce. Toss to coat evenly.

Insalata Mista

  1. 9

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large salad bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  2. 10

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the creamy balsamic dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Garlic Stick Pie

  1. 11

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough onto a floured surface to form a rectangle.

  2. 12

    Add Garlic Butter

    In a small bowl, mix together melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the rolled-out dough.

  3. 13

    Add Cheese and Parsley

    Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley evenly over the dough.

  4. 14

    Bake

    Cut the dough into strips and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
