Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.75 cups Dry Marsala wine
• 0.75 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

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 the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth and stir to combine. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over them. Cook for 2 minutes to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
