Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces White button mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.75 cups Dry Marsala wine
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they are softened and lightly browned.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour in the Marsala wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
