Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Pour the marsala wine into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite side dish.
