Chicken marsala
Chicken Marsala is a traditional Italian dish that has gained popularity worldwide. It is a variation of traditional scaloppine dishes that are common in Italy. The dish is named after the city of Marsala in Sicily, Italy, where the wine used in the recipe is produced.
Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]
Chicken Marsala is typically made with chicken cutlets, Marsala wine, and mushrooms. The chicken is coated in flour, briefly sautéed, and then removed from the pan, which is then used to make a Marsala reduction sauce. The sauce is made by sautéing mushrooms and then deglazing the pan with Marsala wine. The chicken is then returned to the pan and simmered until it is cooked through.
The dish is typically served with a side of pasta or rice, and can also be accompanied by a green salad. The rich flavors of the Marsala wine reduction sauce complement the chicken and make this dish a favorite in many Italian restaurants worldwide.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Chicken Marsala that include additional ingredients such as prosciutto or cream. Some versions of the dish, known as Chicken Marsala alla Milanese, include a slice of prosciutto on the chicken, and the dish is then topped with a sauce made from Marsala wine, butter, and fresh sage. Another popular variation is Chicken Marsala with cream, where heavy cream is added to the Marsala sauce, giving it a richer and creamier texture.
In Popular Culture[edit | edit source]
Chicken Marsala has been featured in numerous cookbooks and cooking shows due to its delicious taste and relatively simple preparation. It is a popular dish in Italian-American cuisine and is often served in Italian restaurants in the United States.
