Chicken Marsala Over White Rice (Recipe 139 of 125)

Chicken Marsala is one of my favorite dishes. I've made it a thousand times. Many showed up on this very blog: here and here just this year alone. Each one is as good as the next. None of them vary much in the ingredients. The base being mushrooms, marsala and chicken in all of them. 

This one falls right into that category. Nothing special about it. It is the only one that has every asked for oregano to be added. I wouldn't do that again. It took away from the marsala flavor. 

I didn't put it over rice. Seems weird to me. I just had a side salad and broccoli with it. 

Chicken Marsala Over White Rice
Recipe from All Recipes.com

Serves 4

• 1 c all-purpose flour
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pinch dried oregano to taste
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
• 1 T olive oil
• 2 T butter, divided
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 c sliced fresh mushrooms
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• ½ c Marsala wine
• ½ c chicken stock

In a large bowl, whisk the flour with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Gently press the chicken breasts into the flour mixture to coat, and shake off the excess flour.

Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the chicken in the skillet and cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside and golden brown outside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Drain the cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate.

Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet over medium heat while scraping up any brown bits with a spoon. Stir in the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, and cook and stir until they are tender and have released their liquid, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, then stir in the Marsala wine and chicken stock.

Transfer the chicken back to the skillet, and spoon sauce over chicken pieces. Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the the sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes more.
