Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 0.75 cup Marsala wine
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Tongs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dredge the chicken: Lightly dredge each thinly sliced chicken breast in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Cooking
  1. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and browned. If needed, add a little more olive oil.
  3. Deglaze and simmer: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
  4. Combine and serve: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the Marsala sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a minced garlic clove with the mushrooms. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of steamed vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
