Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.75 cup Marsala wine
- 0.75 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the flour on a shallow plate or bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and their liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook for 5 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken, until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is heated through.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, pasta, or your favorite side dish.
