Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium shallots, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup dry Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth

Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts.
Step 2
Add the diced shallots and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shallots become translucent.
Step 3
Introduce the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.

Pour in the Marsala wine and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the alcohol to cook off, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and continue to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, reducing the sauce slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the heavy cream and fresh thyme, and let the sauce simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
