Chicken With Marsala, Mushrooms & Gorgonzola Recipe

ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/4 cups sliced cremini or white mushrooms
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 ounce crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

directions

Trim the chicken, removing the tenders, and slice on an angle into 3/4-inch-thick medallions; season generously with salt and pepper.

In a 10-inch straight-sided saute pan, heat 2 Tbs. of the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add half of the chicken and cook, flipping once, until lightly browned and just barely cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate; repeat with the remaining chicken. Cover with foil to keep warm.

Keeping the pan on medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil, Add the mushrooms, season lightly with salt, and saute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until softened and well browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook. stirring constantly, until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds.

Pour in the Marsala and scrape the pan with the spoon to loosen any browned bits; simmer until the Marsala is reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the cream and simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add two-thirds of the Gorgonzola and stir until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste the sauce; add salt and pepper if needed.

Add the chicken along with any juices and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining cheese and the parsley.

This meal was fabulous, very easy to make and only required minimul ingredients to make. Marsala wine was easy to find in grocery cooking section. Cannot comment on how the leftovers would taste as every bite was consumed during the first sitting by my guests.

Oh my God! This was sooooo good. We ate it all up and I'll probably make this again tomorrow night because it was that damn good. I did add more sherry, cream and cheese since I like more sauce, but beyond that this recipe is amazing.

I am not a gorgonzola fan, but the cheese makes the sauce deliciously creamy! This was reasonably easy to make and tastes wonderful!
