Question 1

What kind of Marsala wine should I use?

Accepted Answer

There are two main types of Marsala wine: sweet and dry. For savory dishes like chicken Marsala, dry Marsala is the classic choice, as it gives a deep, nutty, and slightly sweet flavor to the sauce. Sweet Marsala is usually reserved for desserts.

Question 2

How do I prepare the chicken breasts?

Accepted Answer

The chicken breasts should be cut in half horizontally to make thin cutlets, then pounded to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. This will help them cook quickly and evenly in the skillet. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.

Question 3

How do I make the mushroom sauce?

Accepted Answer

After cooking the chicken, remove it from the skillet and keep it warm. Add some butter and oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté sliced mushrooms until browned and tender, stirring occasionally. Add some minced garlic and cook for a few seconds, then deglaze the pan with Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until slightly reduced, then stir in some chicken broth (or stock) and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally. You can also add some heavy cream for extra richness and creaminess if you like.

Question 4

How long does it take to cook chicken Marsala?

Accepted Answer

Chicken Marsala is a quick and easy dish that can be made in about 45 minutes from start to finish. The chicken cutlets take about 10 to 12 minutes to cook through (depending on their thickness), turning once halfway through. The mushroom sauce takes about 15 to 20 minutes to make, including simmering time.

Question 5

What should I serve with chicken Marsala?

Accepted Answer

Chicken Marsala goes well with a variety of side dishes that can soak up its delicious sauce. Some popular options are mashed potatoes, pasta (such as fettuccine or linguine), rice (such as basmati or jasmine), polenta, or bread (such as garlic bread or crusty Italian bread). You can also serve some green vegetables (such as broccoli, green beans, spinach, or asparagus) or a salad (such as Caesar salad or mixed greens) for some freshness and color.

Question 6

When does Chicken Marsala expire?

Accepted Answer

Chicken Marsala, a delightful dish incorporating chicken and Marsala wine, is best eaten fresh right after it's cooked. However, if you make a little extra or want to save some for later, you can safely store it in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Beyond this period, the quality and safety of the dish may begin to deteriorate. If you choose to freeze the dish, it can last up to 2-3 months. However, freezing might affect the texture and quality of the chicken and sauce.

Question 7

How do you tell if Chicken Marsala is bad?

Accepted Answer

To determine if your Chicken Marsala has spoiled, use your senses. First, look at it. If the food has developed an off color or mold, it should not be eaten. Next, smell it. Spoiled Chicken Marsala develops a kind of 'off' smell that is quite noticeable. Finally, if you're uncertain, taste just a small piece. If the flavor seems off, trust your instincts and discard the dish.

Question 8

Tips for storing Chicken Marsala to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store the Chicken Marsala in an airtight container or zip-top plastic bag to keep it from drying out in the refrigerator.

• If you freeze it, divide the dish into smaller portions - this allows for quicker cooling and freezing, and makes it easier to defrost only what you need at a later date.

• Don't leave the Chicken Marsala to cool down completely before putting it into the fridge – pathogenic bacteria can grow if it spends too much time in the ‘danger zone’ (between 40°F and 140°F).

• Don't put hot food directly into the freezer. It can increase the overall temperature in your freezer, risking the quality of other frozen foods.
