Chicken Scaloppine With Oyster Mushrooms And Marsala
- 4 boneless and skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
- 4 fresh sage leaves
- 8 paper-thin slices prosciutto
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional as necessary
- Seasoned all purpose flour for dredging
- 8 to 10 ounces fresh oyster mushrooms
- 1 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup rich Chicken Stock
- Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Crisp-fried fresh sage leaves (see Notes) for garnishing (optional)
- Butterfly each chicken breast (or have the butcher do it for you), place between sheets of parchment or waxed paper, and with a meat mallet or the back of a small, heavy iron skillet, gently pound until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place a sage leaf and 2 overlapping slices of prosciutto on each chicken breast and fold over to form a sandwich, with the prosciutto on the outside.
- Pound gently again to an even thickness and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- In a heavy skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in seasoned flour and add to the pan.
- Cook until beautifully browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
- Set aside and keep warm.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan with a bit more olive oil if necessary and saute until they are lightly browned and the juices have evaporated.
- Set aside and keep warm.
- Add the Marsala and stock to the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
- Bring to a boil and reduce by half or until the sauce has thickened lightly.
- Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts on warm plates and top with oyster mushrooms.
- Spoon the sauce over and garnish with fried sage leaves, if using.
- Serve immediately.
