Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Starches and Coatings:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Liquids and Seasonings:
- ½ cup Marsala wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup olive oil
Aromatics and Produce:
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Sandwich chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to ½-inch thickness. Generously season both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in ¼ cup all-purpose flour, tapping off excess. Ensure complete but light coverage.
- Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a 12-inch skillet at medium-high heat (375°F). Carefully place floured chicken into hot oil.
- Sear chicken for exactly 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook opposite side for additional 4 minutes. Remove chicken to clean plate.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 cup sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 3 minutes until mushrooms soften.
- Pour ½ cup Marsala wine and ½ cup chicken broth into skillet. Scrape pan bottom to release browned bits. Simmer sauce for 6 minutes.
- Stir ¼ cup heavy cream into sauce. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 2 minutes until sauce thickens and chicken warms.
- Transfer chicken to serving platter. Spoon mushroom sauce generously over each piece. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley on top.
Notes
- Pounding chicken evenly ensures uniform cooking and tender meat that absorbs sauce perfectly.
- Shaking excess flour prevents soggy coating and helps create a crisp, golden exterior on the chicken.
- Use a dry Marsala wine for a more balanced sauce that doesn’t become overly sweet.
- Fresh mushrooms make a significant difference in flavor, so select firm, unblemished ones from the produce section.
