Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken breast halves with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour until well coated, shaking off excess.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour Marsala wine into the skillet, stirring to deglaze the pan. Simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce the sauce.
- Stir in heavy cream, simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce and mushrooms over the top. Simmer for a few more minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with the creamy Marsala sauce spooned over the chicken breasts.
