Equipment

  • 1 Large non-stick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Sliced mushrooms white or cremini would do splendidly
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour. Shake off the excess.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add your chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. After cooking, set aside the chicken on a plate.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add your mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until they're tender and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the Marsala wine, scrapping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. These bits are packed with flavor, don't miss out!
  • Add the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by half.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, nestling it into the sauce. Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • To serve, place the chicken on a plate, and pour a generous amount of the Marsala and mushroom sauce on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
