Ingredients
- 2 large boneless chicken breasts (about a pound)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter (more if needed)
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- ⅓ cup marsala cooking wine (can also use dry or sweet)
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream (more if desired)
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Freshly chopped parsley or thyme
For serving: Mashed potatoes, noodles or rice
Instructions
- Slice chicken. Cut two chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 chicken fillets. If you'd like to pound them thinner, place them in a bag and pound the top of the chicken breast until even.
- Coat chicken in flour. Whisk together 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder salt and pepper in a shallow dish. I usually add about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to start. Then coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture.
- Cook chicken. Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil and 2 Tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly shake off any excess flour from the chicken and then place into the skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cook mushrooms. Add more butter if needed and then cook 1 cup mushrooms for 3 minutes. Then pour in 1/3 cup marsala wine and boil down for a minute to burn out the alcohol. Then add in 3/4 cup chicken broth and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Once the sauce has begin to thicken, slowly whisk in the 1/4 cup cream and cook until it has come to a light simmer. Taste and add more cream, S&P if desired. Then add the chicken back into the pan and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
