Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Breading

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Cooking Oil

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil

Mushrooms

  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms

Wine

  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine

Broth

  • 1 cup chicken broth

Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Dredge them in flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they’re tender, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Pour in the Marsala wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer and reduce for about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and bring it back to a simmer.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the delicious sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, use high-quality Marsala wine. To save time, use thinly sliced chicken breasts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
