Ingredients

Gremolata Chicken

  • 1 lemon, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup parsley, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts

Marsala Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Buttermilk-Scallion Mashed Potatoes

  • 1 pound red bliss potatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, scrubbed and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 scallions, minced

Broccoli

  • 2 heads broccoli, cut into florets
Directions
1
Combine the lemon, parsley, garlic, oil and salt in a blender until mostly smooth. 
2
Toss the chicken with the gremolata and marinate overnight or for at least 4 hours. 
3
Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
4
In a large skillet, add the canola oil and butter. When the butter melts, stir in the flour and cook for 15-20 minutes, until golden and thick. Add the onions, salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 7 minutes. Add the sherry vinegar and marsala and bring to a boil. Add the chicken stock and mushrooms and return to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until flavorful and thickened. Season to taste.
5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, discard marinade and season chicken with salt and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet until cooked through, about 22 minutes. 
6
In a large stockpot, place the potatoes and a generous pinch of salt. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer. Cook at a simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add the butter, milk, buttermilk, salt and pepper. Mash until smooth. Fold in the scallions. 
7
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the broccoli. Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and ice. When the water boils, add the broccoli for 2 to 4 minutes, until bright green, then immediately transfer to the ice bath to stop cooking. Take them out of the ice bath after 1 to 2 minutes.
8
To serve, divide the mashed potatoes and broccoli between plates. Top with a chicken breast and marsala sauce.
