Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup compliant Marsala wine
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with the salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Pour the almond flour onto a plate and coat each chicken breast on both sides, shaking off any excess.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee. Add the sliced mushrooms and shallots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and the shallots are soft.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth and Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by about half, this should take about 4-5 minutes.
Once the sauce is reduced, add the fresh thyme leaves and stir to combine.
Return the chicken breasts back to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot, and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Marsala!
