Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 4 ounces each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
• 1 medium Shallot, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup Dry Marsala wine
• 0.5 cup Reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 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.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Lightly dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and browned.

Step 6

Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the alcohol cook off slightly.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish before serving. Enjoy your Weight Watchers Chicken Marsala with a side of steamed vegetables or a small portion of whole-grain pasta.
