Brainy Quick 'Chicken Marsala'...


Chicken Marsala is an Italian-American dish made from chicken cutlets, mushrooms, minced garlic or shallots, and Marsala wine. Although traditional Italian versions of this dish are typically not  served with pasta, by all means...do serve this dish with pasta.

The list of ingredients are above as you see. If you cannot add wine, either because you don't drink wine or just don't have any on hand... don't panic. You can just substitute the wine using beef stock mixed with cooking sherry or Worcestershire sauce.

To begin, sauce onion or shallots with minced garlic and mushrooms in olive oil. Add to that as many chicken cutlets as you need. Brown on both sides in the same skillet as the onion, garlic and mushrooms.

To that sizzling mix, add 2 tbs of butter, 1/3 or up to 1/2 cup of beef stock and 1/4 cup of sherry and or Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle in dried herbs: mint, oregano and rosemary... let simmer while you prepare the pasta of your choice.

When the pasta is just tender, drain, rinse and ladle onto a low lipped serving dish topping with the chicken and Marsala sauce.
