Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 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 mushrooms
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.75 cups Marsala wine
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and 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 flour.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 6

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they begin to brown and release their moisture.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the chicken broth and let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through and let the flavors meld.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot, either on its own or over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
