- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in Marsala wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, use a good quality Marsala wine.
