Jason Hill: Chicken recipes are extremely popular in the home kitchen, they were making chicken marasala. One of the most popular Italian recipes made with wine. Hi, I’m Chef Jason Hill. This simple chicken recipe calls for more Marsala wine, sherry wine and fresh mushrooms. Here is a quick tip when purchasing a mushrooms look for tightly closed caps that don’t show any gills. Lets go cover the ingredients. Four skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, that we will pound out three quarters cup of all purpose flour that we’re going to season one tablespoon of dried oregano, one teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper, one teaspoon of sea salt, we need a cup and half of sliced mushrooms so depending on their size you may need 8-12 mushrooms. When cooking with wines don’t spin the water on your cooking wines, but on the flip side don’t buy something that you wouldn’t drink straight, you need a half a cup of Marsala wine and a quarter cup of sherry wine. To pound chicken I first lay our professional quality plastic wrap on to my work surface. Then I cover the chicken with another sheet of plastic wrap. Now I pound into their about a quarter inch thick, I season our flour with the oregano, pepper and salt. Mix the seasoning into the flour with your hands, now spread the chicken into the flour. To slice the mushrooms I take off one little slice rolls the mushrooms over on to the flat side and they continue slice that. Okay now let have the mushroom slice and I’m going to pre-heat my pan for about a minute they we can a butter and olive oil. Okay now we have the olive oil and the butter. The reason we’re adding olive oil with the butter is thus keeps the butter from burning to raises the smoking point after the butter is melted its time to add the chicken. After about three minutes on high the chicken will be brown and the turn. After you turn the chicken pour your mushrooms over to the top, then even before in the wine. Now I cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. I’m serving this with steam brown rice and grill the asparagus. This is one of those classic Italian dishes that your family will bake for over and over again. Rice been $20 for plate or restaurant would you can make this easy at home.
