Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Season the flour with the salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown but not fully cooked. Set the chicken aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are softened and golden.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the Marsala wine. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors combine.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley for garnish before serving. Serve hot with your choice of pasta or crusty bread.
