Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.75 cup Dry Marsala wine
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts 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.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the Marsala wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the chicken broth and simmer for another 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to reheat the chicken.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or green vegetables for a complete meal.
