Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (or almond flour)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.75 cups Dry Marsala wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken stock
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Pour in the marsala wine and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat. Allow to cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately, optionally pairing with gluten-free pasta or mashed potatoes.
