This is a simple Chicken Marsala platter my sister cooked for Easter. We tend to eat this every year and I decided I’d get the recipe this go. This photo doesn’t do it justice (This is the aftermath of Easter.)
Materials
- Medium size frynig pan
- Medium size baking/lasagna pan
- Liquid measuring cup
- Fork
- Zester
Saute ingredients
- Chicken Breast (10 breasts)
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- Garlic
- Red Pepper (Optional)
- Lemon Zest (Or lemon for cheaters)
- Fresh Mushrooms
- Black Olives
Instructions
Tenderize your chicken breasts. Place aside.
In a large frying pan pour olive oil. Place finely chopped garlic in pan. Squeeze 1/2 a lemon in the pan. (If you want to do this right, grate lemon zest instead.) Optional: include red pepper flakes to your liking. Start flame on 3 or 4 (light heat). Cook until you smell the heavy garlic aroma (about 1 min). If garlic browns you’ve over cooked.
Place 5 breasts in the pan. Saute for about 1 min each side (chicken turns white). Place sauted breasts in medium size baking/lasagna pan when complete. Place aside and start again with second set of chicken breast.
With juice that’s left, saute mushrooms until they are soft to the fork. Pour all leftover juice and mushrooms on top of the sauted chicken in the lasagna pan.
Preheat oven to 350.
Marsala gravy ingredients
- 1 Can of chicken broth
- 1/4 Cup soy sauce
- 1/2 Cup marsala cooking wine
- 2 to 3 lemons squeezed
- 4 Tbls flower
Instructions
Place these ingredients in a liquid measuring cup except the thickening agent (the flower).
Place your flower in a separate bowl. Pour a small amount of liquid in the bowl and mix to a fine consistency. Once the thickening agent has no lumps, pour it back into the liquid measuring cup. Mix thoroughly.
Combine gravy and chicken
Pour the gravy in the lasagna pan on top of the sauted chicken. Pour evenly to cover all of the breasts. (This gravy will thicken when it bakes in the oven.)
Place black olives on the chicken. Whole or chopped.
Place in oven. Chicken is complete when gravy is bubbling. Roughly 40 min.
