Chicken Marengo Style Pollo Alla Marengo Recipes

POLLO ALLA MARENGO

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into pieces (check the instructions on how to cut up a chicken in the cooking tips!) or, if using only leg quarters, cut into drumsticks and thighs. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Add about 25g (1 oz) of olive oil to salted water and cook the mushrooms.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining oil to a sauté pan and brown the chicken cuts over medium heat. Once they are a nice golden-brown color, season with salt and pepper and pour in the wine.
• Slow braise until the meat is done. Then, remove pieces of meat and add the flour and Marsala or Madeira wine to the cooking liquid. Stir until well combined and smooth.
• If the sauce appears to be too thick, stretch it with a little water. Bring to a small boil and then add the mushrooms. Cook for another few minutes.
• Lastly, pour the hot sauce over chicken cuts, and serve immediately, sprinkled with lemon juice and chopped parsley.

4-STEP CHICKEN MARENGO

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, to taste, and lightly dredge in flour. In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Brown on both sides, until nicely golden, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. In the same pan, add more oil, if needed, along with the onion, mushrooms and peppers and saute until softened and fragrant, but not limp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the tomato paste and cook a few minutes to cook out the raw flavor. Turn up the heat, and add the wine/wine to deglaze the pan and let it reduce for 2 or 3 minutes. Add the beef broth and tomatoes. Once the mixture begins to bubble, add the browned paillards and any juices from the chicken and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in the butter. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
