Ingredients

• 4 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces (sliced) Cremini mushrooms
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.75 cup Dry Marsala wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the Marsala wine and bring it to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a side of steamed vegetables.
