INSTRUCTIONS

  • Cut the chicken into 1 inch chunks, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add shallots and cook until golden.

  • Transfer the chicken and add the shallots to a plate.
  • Deglaze the pan by pouring in the Marsala and turning the heat up to high. Scrape the browned bits with a wooden spoon and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 1 minute.
