Pellicano’s Signature Chicken Marsala

Invite the rich, savory flavors of a classic Italian kitchen to your next gathering with Pellicano’s Signature Chicken Marsala. This dish is a staple of our prepared foods collection, designed to provide a restaurant-quality experience for groups of 12-18 people. Perfectly balanced and deeply flavorful, our Chicken Marsala reflects the commitment to quality and tradition that defines Pellicano’s Marketplace.

We begin with tender, premium Chicken Cutlets, lightly dusted in seasoned flour and pan-seared to lock in moisture and create a delicate texture. The star of the dish is our house-made Marsala reduction. We sauté fresh White Mushrooms, onions, and garlic in creamy butter before deglazing with a sweet and robust Marsala Wine. This creates a deep, mahogany-colored sauce that is further enriched with our savory chicken base and a special blend of Dried Thyme, Parsley, and Cracked Pepper.

Every tray is finished with a touch of cornstarch to ensure the sauce has the perfect "nappe" consistency—thick enough to coat the mushrooms and chicken beautifully without being heavy. This is a sophisticated, "warm" dish that brings a sense of comfort and elegance to any buffet line or family table.

Quality and Preparation: Following the standards set by Paul Pellicano, every order is prepared fresh. We focus on the quality of the wine reduction and the freshness of the mushrooms to ensure the earthy, sweet, and savory notes are perfectly in sync. This dish arrives hot and ready to be the centerpiece of your event.

Catering Versatility: Chicken Marsala is a crowd favorite that pairs exceptionally well with:

• Hearty Sides: Our roasted potatoes or a wild rice pilaf.

• Italian Classics: Serve over a bed of buttered linguine or with a side of crusty Italian bread to soak up the sauce.

• Event Types: Perfect for holiday parties, rehearsal dinners, or high-end corporate luncheons.
