Equipment

  • Tools:

  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Large skillet
  • Tongs
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small bowl

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms sliced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Prepare Chicken: On a cutting board, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Coat Chicken: Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until they are browned and tender.
  • Deglaze Pan: Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Add Broth: Add the chicken broth and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  • Finish Sauce: Stir in the butter until melted and well combined. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
