Wine For The Young And Young At Heart
Apologies for the lack of posts over the past couple weeks. I've been traveling, culinarily of course. On my recent ...Chicken Marsala
Ingredients
2-4 Chicken Breasts
5 Cloves Garlic (or more!)
1 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock
3/4 Cup Dry Marsala Wine
3 Springs Rosemary
Several Basil Leaves, Torn
Cornstarch
Fine Breadcrumbs
Directions
Begin by lightly breading chicken in a 50/50 mixture of fine breadcrumbs and cornstarch. No flour or egg wash is needed, just wet the chicken and roll in mixture. Crush five or more cloves of garlic with the side of a chef's knife.
Brown chicken in a mixture of olive oil and vegetable oil. Remove when brown, discard excess oil. Deglaze pan with Marsala wine, then add chicken stock and garlic. Return chicken to pan.
Simmer for about an hour, turning every fifteen minutes. If you're busy, feel free to just turn once, at the half hour mark. With five minutes left to cook, add rosemary and basil. Plate chicken, placing some of the garlic on top. Remove rosemary, and thicken sauce with corn starch slurry.
