Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken breasts, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any flavorful bits. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and sauce. Cover the skillet and let cook for 2 minutes until the feta begins to soften.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy over pasta, rice, or with a side of vegetables.
