Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 ounces Button mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup Marsala wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken breasts, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

Step 6

Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any flavorful bits. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to warm the chicken through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and sauce. Cover the skillet and let cook for 2 minutes until the feta begins to soften.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy over pasta, rice, or with a side of vegetables.
