Gluten Free Chicken Marsala

As I continue to explore the nuances of gluten free cooking, the inspiration for this dish was checking my pantry and seeing I had a little marsala wine left in a bottle and it was time to finish it. My wife and I do not eat red meat often, so we have a lot of chicken. The go to family favorite is my CHICKEN MILANESE. As an alternative, I present chicken marsala – a quite simple and very flavorful dish.

Gluten Free Chicken Marsala
One of my learning experiences from this recipe is don’t always try to use up everything in your fridge on the same recipe. I also had some buttermilk in the fridge and it would not last long. So I had the bright idea to soak the chicken in buttermilk prior to dredging the chicken. Soaking the chicken in buttermilk is a traditional step in making fried chicken – not chicken marsala. So the problem with this execution is the buttermilk causes the dredge to adhere to the chicken. When pan frying the chicken, you get a crispy exterior but then it softens when the dish is finished off with the marsala wine.
The correct way to execute the dish is to simply dredge the chicken in your gluten free flour, I used rice flour and pan fry it. The result is a nice browning on the chicken which is removed from the pan and set aside. Next, the sauce is developed in the same pan picking up all the flavor from the browning of the chicken. The shallots are softened, the garlic added and finally marasla and chicken stock are added.
