Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 2 skin-on boneless chicken breast halves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
  • ¾ cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts all over with salt and pepper.
  2. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge chicken until lightly coated; shake off excess.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil.
  4. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. Add mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  6. Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pan for extra flavor.
  7. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the rich mushroom sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes more to heat through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over pasta or mashed potatoes.
