Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Season both sides of the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.
Dredge the cutlets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the veal cutlets to the skillet in batches, cooking for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and melt it over medium heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, stirring to deglaze and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly, then stir in the chicken stock.
Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the veal is heated through.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes, pasta, or vegetables on the side.
