How to Make Better Chicken Marsala

[@TacticalKiwi4862]

This show is one of two reason why I love to cook. Growing up I didn't have cable so for tv we had basic channels including PBS and growing up in Vermont, America's Test Kitchen is what I would watch instead of Saturday morning cartoons. And to this day I still appreciate what I learned form this show.

[@IngaHicks]

Agree :)

[@HickoryDickory86]

Same! I love this show.

[@rachelsweets]

[@ElizaDolittle]

I have been watching Bridget and Julia on America's test kitchen for YEARS. Love them!

[@barbdalessandris8899]

I am so impressed with first, the professional way you ladies taught us how to make this recipe, and secondly, the high quality recipe. I could almost smell that sauce! I will recommend this show and will watch as often as possible. Thank you.

[@timothy4664]

I haven't watched test kitchen in years. I always loved Bridget and my wife Julia. I wished they collabed all the time.

[@96150coconut]

All I could think about through the rest of this video is how wonderful those discarded mushrooms must have tasted. Maybe in a Pasta Dish or a Rice Pilaf side dish. Other than that this dish looked Amazing. I like the reduced Marsala idea. Great job.

[@RockeyToes]

Exactly! I would have saved them for a rice pilaf with pecans.

[@DisillusionedAcronym]

you can put that panceta/mushroom mix over a bowl of rice and i'd never complain.

[@marecee1054]

I tried this recipe the other night and it was absolutely delicious...however I swapped out the pancetta for smoked bacon and didn't discard the mushrooms. It's definitely a keeper!

[@LihsaInHouston]

I am such a fan of these two ladies! They are such good cooks and such good friends. Really comes across on these videos!

[@johnscanlan9335]

As we all know there are tons of recipes just here on KZbin, but I always look at the ATK recipe as the base to get the basic concept down and then look at the other ones to get varying perspectives. Then I put together all the parts I like best!

[@michaelbilbrey2375]

Wondering if Bridget or Julia would answer a question. I notice you add lemon juice to a lot of recipes at the end, for 'brightness.' What exactly does that mean, and how does a mere two teaspoons really enhance a dish? Love the shows! You both are doing a superb job hostine, teaching and cooking! Thank you.

[@fusionxtras]

It sharpens and balances the dish. If you have something very rich like a deep fried chicken with skin on acidity helps to cut it and add a "snap" make a dish with and without the acidity to feel what that means

[@kareninalabama]

You can note the difference for yourself by tasting the sauce prior to and then again after adding the lemon juice. 🙂

[@vincebrown9832]

And, Lemon and chicken go together wonderfully.

[@wfodavid]

I needed this recipe. My kids love me again!

[@katharineamin6066]

This is a family favourite- such depth of flavour! I haven’t been able to find pancetta in stores for months, so I used bacon - it’s still delicious! Thanks so much!!👩‍🍳

[@crayhlr]

I made it and it turned out excellent! Better than I’ve had at any restaurant! I had some fresh thyme and substituted it for the oregano.

[@gm1937]

Hello from New York City I just bought all of the ingredients to make this dish and paid $55 for all of it. The pancetta and porcini mushrooms are more expensive than gold nuggets.

[@eveny119]

Well you can stick to the trad. Italian recipe, no pancetta nor porcini. I buy a whole chicken at .99c a lb and debone and skin the 2 breasts, use white mushrooms and the rest is basic. The only real expense is the 1 cup of Marsala (3-4$?)

[@delightschwartz2155]

Another suggestion , use bacon fat in lieu of pancetta. I get dried porcinis in bulk online a years supply at a time, or I substitute a mix of dried mushrooms including a bit of powdered dried mushrooms, porcinis or other type. Every little bit of savings helps.

[@gm1937]

Thank you for the "DRY' Marsala version. I have only used the sweet version for desserts, like Zabaglione.

[@lareinadiondra6027]

[@Lwah0812]

I found a recipe for chicken Marsala a while back but couldn’t find the dry Marsala in nearby liquor stores, it was out of stock for weeks so my friend and I were out and about and I finally found some and was planning on making it tonight…what are the odds that this showed up in on my suggested videos today. While I am going to follow the other recipe first because it isn’t nearly as complicated and I don’t have gelatin or the porcini mushrooms. It’ll be fun to make a comparison, because I am not a mushroom fan, I am making it because my husband loves mushrooms and I am trying to learn to love them too. I think the other recipe may win but your recipe does look very interesting and I know my husband will love yours because of the porcini mushrooms and he’ll be able to use them in something else like the ramen he likes to make. Well, I just tried going to your website to get the recipe and it requires my email address to get it so I guess I won’t be making this version after all, what a huge disappointment.

[@TheDuszak]

making this tonight! No panchetta though so I'm adding a little chicken base. Love this show .

Can't believe it took 16 years to learn that you use Dry Marsala in Chicken Marsala.

[@sharonbilotta9331]

A suggestion for saving on plastic wrap (and the planet): save the liners from cereal boxes for pounding chicken breasts. They work better than plastic wrap, anyway.

[@jayburris6252]

lol!

[@gatorbuilt]

I save my cold cut deli bags(zip closure style)...throw a serving or two of breast in each...pound it out flat inside the bag, covered by a towel to prevent perforating the deli bag , throw it in the freezer and you're ready for quick prep after a quick thaw as you prep.

Lol, I’m sure you walk to the grocery store so not to pollute the air and of course you shower only when it rains.

[@honklerton732]

Yeah I throw all my used plastic AND cardboard boxes in the RECYCLING bin... you know... that right there is more than what most people do. That being said - I will try using the cardboard from those soda 12 packs, since THOSE are what I usually go through quicker, i'll also wipe them down before using as well. I will TRY IT - and if they really do work better i'll consider keeping them in a drawer.

[@pdxfunkjunkie]

Huge fan and ATK subscriber here. You gang have taught me so much over the years. Made this recipe last night and it was terrific. BUT one thing seemed a little off to me - the tomato paste. Wasn't impressed with the taste nor the color it added. Scratching my head, I went back to explore my tried-and-true recipe for Pork Marsala, and found a clue - mustard. That recipe uses grainy mustard both for flavor and as a thickening agent, which works perfectly. Think I'll substitute for the tomato paste here next time and compare.

[@delightschwartz2155]

Good alternative, thanks for sharing.

[@EasyCompany2001]

Best Chicken Marsala I have ever had although I would use Chef’s Paul Prudhomme Poultry Magic seasoning to season the chicken with a little fresh black pepper. And don’t add the wine at the end. Just at the beginning

[@lunasun666]

could you please make a test on juicers... that would be amazing.. of course there many videos on the net but i really trust your opinion because you test everything and this in anyway and you are very honest... and you have also so much experience!! i wan't to buy one but will wait and would be so happy if you could show me the right one!!! thank you all for your great work and help to use!!! :)

[@lordgarion514]

Juicers are bad for your health. Once you take all the fiber(and some of the nutrients as well) out of the fruit, the juice you're left with spikes your insulin levels as bad, or even worse than pure sugar. For example, table sugar has a glycemic index of 68, and sugar is considered horrible for your health. Pulp free orange juice has a glycemic index of between 66 and 76, while an entire orange has a glycemic index of just 42. "Low: 55 or less Moderate: 56 - 69 High: 70+" As you can see, sugar is only "moderate" while that glass of orange juice is even worse, while the whole fruit is all the way down in the low category. It's best to either eat the fruit, or put it in a good quality blender so you can eat the fiber and reduce your blood sugar spike. There's a LOT of good recipes online for smoothies using whole fruit and veggies. And as a bonus, you're not literally throwing away 15-20 percent of the expensive fruits you paid for. Plus, the skin and pulp contains flavonoids(massively good for you), and a LOT of them stay in the skin and pulp after juicing.

[@lunasun666]

@@lordgarion514 thank you very much for such a precise explanation... i always thought it is much healthier.. the thing here is li like aple juice so much this one you get from farmers.. and i have no idea how else to extract the juice from it otherwise!! but again thank you very much for the kindness to answer!! :)

[@lordgarion514]

@@lunasun666 Yw. Here's how Vitamix shows to make it with a blender. You can leave the pulp in, or strain it out. It's a beast of a machine, but more normal blenders will do just fine, just takes an extra 30-60 seconds or so. www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/recipes/apple-juice I would Google something like "fruit smoothie recipes with apples". www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/recipes/apple-juice

Making this recipe tonight. It has been on my list for a while and I finally remembered to buy both dry Marsala wine and dried porcinis. Will check back w/ results. Edit:Tasty and tender. I don't usually "follow a recipe" but I did in this case because I was having a hard time wrapping my head around the reason ATK jumped around so much. Was it really just to keep this a "One Pan Meal"? I am sure all the sauce steps can be done in a flowing process with a sauce pan with a sauté pan working only for mushrooms and chicken, deglazing with marsala. I think a lot of casual home cooks will get lost on this one. On the other hand that chicken fillet tip is priceless. Love your stuff, just had a couple issues with this one.

I hate to see the porcini mushrooms go to waste. Is there a way to reincorporate them back into the dish?

[@LihsaInHouston]

LazyTV save them for omelets?

[@lordgarion514]

You could, but the flavor compared to the second batch of mushrooms will be weak, as most of the flavor was cooked out. They would work, but you would need to reduce the amount of mushrooms in the second batch, and it wouldn't taste as good(but still pretty dang good TBH). They would go great in a soup, stew, or casserole though. Or definitely as the other person said, good for cooking with eggs. It's giving you the flavor of 2 batches of mushrooms, without you having to eat all of them. Or having so many mushrooms that the chicken gets lost.

[@mikescorpio1108]

Does anyone think that dried mixed mushrooms would work? I couldn't find dried porcini mushrooms.

Has anyone tried putting them into a food processor or small blender and emulsifying them back into the marsala/broth? Seems too good to just trash them.

Agreed. This is a way to over-complicate what is normally a simple and lovely recipe. The discarded mushrooms and... gelatin? There's no reason not to do this in one pan, deglazing the pan that the chicken is cooked in for flavor, and slightly thickening the sauce with butter and flour if desired. The minute I heard it took you 16 years to realize this dish was too sweet because you used the wrong variety of marsala... you lost a bit of credibility with me. Sorry, ladies.

Has anyone ever noticed that MOST of these cooking shows GO OUT OF THEIR WAY to leave the BRAND names of the ingredients out? This really irks me sometimes because the brand of ingredients you use can really make a HUGE DIFFERENCE in the outcome of your dish!!! Use "dry marsala" - OK WHAT BRAND DID YOU USE?!?!?!? CMON PEOPLE!!!! I know from watching other shows that you WANT to choose something that tastes good enough to drink normally, and if you don't like the way it tastes when you drink it, then you won't like the taste of it when you cook it. I KNOW THIS - but STILL, this means I still HAVE TO GO OUT and taste DIFFERENT kinds of wines just to find out WHICH DANG BRAND TO USE!!!! What ever happened to making a recommendation?!?! Oh so they won't pay you for your recommendation so you won't do it? CMON.
