Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium Shallot, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Dry Marsala wine
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Dredge the veal cutlets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the veal cutlets to the skillet in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the sliced mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 7

Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 8

Pour the chicken broth and Marsala wine into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 9

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until it reduces slightly.

Step 10

Stir in the heavy cream and return the veal cutlets to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, coating the veal in the sauce and ensuring it is heated through.

Step 11

Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
