Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until they are tender and golden.
  4. Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth into the skillet with the mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
  5. Stir in the butter until melted, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken before serving.
