Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Cook the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes.
- Finish the Dish: Stir in the butter until melted and well combined. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.
- Serve: Garnish the dish with chopped parsley and serve hot with your favorite side, such as pasta or crusty bread.
