Chicken Marsala
In this hands-on class, the star of this Italian Dinner is Chicken Marsala—tender, golden-brown chicken cutlets bathed in a luxurious, velvety mushroom and Marsala wine reduction. You will learn how to:
- Flash sear chicken to juicy perfection
- Build a deeply savory red wine pan sauce with assorted mushrooms
- Master the art of deglazing and reducing the sauce with a dry Marsala wine
- The chef’s secret tool: whisking cold butter into the sauce at the very end for a glossy, velvety finish
You will complete this elegant dinner by also preparing a quick summer appetizer, Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and a crisp Arugula & Shaved Parm Salad. The fun continues in our lovely Vasto Room where you will enjoy dessert and a glass of featured red or white wine!
