Place the chicken breasts between pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Carefully pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the skillet to deglaze and remove any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken stock and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot with your choice of pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
