Chicken Marsala

Method

Chicken Marsala Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off any excess.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until they are browned and tender.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until reduced by half. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and cook for an additional minute to heat through.

Rice Pilaf Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté Onions

    In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 7

    Cook the Rice

    Add the rice to the saucepan, stirring to coat the rice in the butter. Pour in chicken broth and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  3. 8

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Broccoli Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare the Broccoli

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

  2. 10

    Sauté Broccoli

    In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the blanched broccoli, salt, and pepper, and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
