Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin.
Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently until the mushrooms are browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken broth and allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Dairy-Free Chicken Marsala hot with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or cooked pasta.
