Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound each piece to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned and softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a side of steamed vegetables.
