chicken marsala with mascarpone and crispy skin
This is usually made with chicken breasts, but I find the thighs to be way juicier and more delicious than the breasts.

How To Make chicken marsala with mascarpone and crispy skin
-
Step 1Season the chicken with the salt. Add the oil to a large heavy skillet. Brown the chicken skin side down in batches of two to get the skin golden brown and crisp.
-
Step 2Pull the skin off and turn the skin over to brown the other side.
-
Step 3Set the skin aside on a paper towel and season with salt.
-
Step 4Remove the chicken and add the other two chicken thighs, and repeat the process.
-
Step 5Cut the chicken from the bone into strips. Don't worry if it's not done. Set aside.
-
Step 6Add the butter to the same pot and add the onions, and cook for 3 minutes.
-
Step 7Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes.
-
Step 8Add the wine and simmer for about 4 minutes.
-
Step 9Stir in the mascarpone and mustard.
-
Step 10Add the chicken pieces back in and cook until the chicken is all cooked.
-
Step 11Make the linguine in salted boiling water and drain once done.
-
Step 12Chop the crispy skin into pieces.
-
Step 13Serve the linguine with the sauce over top and top with Parmesan cheese, basil, and crispy skin. Swirl a little finishing oil if desired.
