Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then coat them in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.
  5. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
  8. Serve the chicken Marsala with pasta or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  9. Enjoy!
