Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 0.75 cups dry Marsala wine
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the Marsala wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2 minutes, until it becomes rich and creamy.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
