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
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and then coat them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
- Serve the chicken Marsala with pasta or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
- Enjoy!
