Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
3/4 cup Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Flatten chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken breasts lightly in the flour mixture.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through; remove and set aside.
Add mushrooms to the same skillet and sauté until tender and browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in heavy cream if using for a creamier sauce.
Return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Use dry Marsala wine for a more savory flavor or sweet Marsala for a richer, sweeter sauce.
For added depth, use a mix of mushrooms like cremini and shiitake.
Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
