Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 0.75 cup Marsala wine
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Step 6
Pour in the Marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, picking up any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Add the chicken stock and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well and simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and let them heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
