Chicken Marsala with Gorgonzola

By Addie

We live near the Faribault, Minn., caves that are used to age the lovely Amableu Gorgonzola cheese. Chicken topped with melting Gorgonzola is quick enough for weeknight cooking but also elegant enough for a dinner party.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz. each)
• 1/4 tsp. plus 1/8 tsp. salt, divided
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
• 1/2 lb. sliced baby portobello mushrooms
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Marsala wine
• 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, divided
• 2 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

1. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 tsp. salt and pepper. In a skillet, cook chicken in 2 Tbsp. oil over medium heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 170 degrees F. Remove and keep warm.

2. In the same skillet, saute mushrooms in remaining oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.

3. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by a third. Stir in cream and remaining salt. Return to a boil; cook until slightly thickened.

4. Return chicken to pan, add 1/3 cup cheese. Cook until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; garnish with parsley.

REVIEWS:

My husband and I both really enjoyed this. It's going in our "keeper" recipe file. We'll definitely make it again.

This is really easy and fast. I made it with dry vermouth instead of the marsala and just regular button mushrooms. A standby recipe in out family now.

Fantastic recipe! My family loved it!

It's hard to give this an accurate rating because in my case, it was extremely salty. I realize that might be my fault, as I salted the mushrooms slightly as I cooked them, not realizing the "cooking wine" I got from the store also had a lot of salt in it. If using that type of wine, omit all other salt. I think it would have been excellent if not for that.

Delish!

I'm wondering what I did wrong because I wasn't impressed.

This was soooo good! I have made it every week for the last month.

This dish was superb! My entire family devoured it. I served it over rice and had biscuits on the side with a salad. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

Of all the taste of home recipes I have made this is by far the best!!!

We made this for a dinner party tonight and everyone *loved* it! It was so good. Definitely going straight into my favorite recipes file!!

Simple yet very elegant! The amount of gorgonzola can be adjusted for our personal taste and still have an amazing flavor. This recipe went right into the favorites collection!

I made this for my honey and I for our special Valentin'es supper this year. It was a BIG hit. Will make again for sure.
