Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Dry Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken lightly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their liquid and start to brown.
  6. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the chicken broth. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet. If using, stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use good quality dry Marsala wine for the best flavor.
  • If you prefer not to use wine, substitute with extra chicken broth and a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.
  • For extra tender chicken, avoid overcooking it in the initial sear.
