Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breasts
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons (minced) Shallots
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 8 ounces (sliced) Cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup (dry) Marsala wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in minced shallots and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender.

Step 6

Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let the wine cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add chicken broth to the skillet and stir. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by about half, which should take 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
