Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, pounded 1/4-inch-thick
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (8-ounce) package pre-sliced bella or button mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2/3 cup chicken broth
- 2/3 cup dry Marsala wine
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions
Step 1 -In a resealable plastic bag, add the chicken breasts, the flour, the salt, and the pepper. Seal the bag tightly and shake to evenly coat.
Step 2 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter until the butter has melted.
Step 3 -Transfer the chicken breasts to the butter mixture, shaking off any excess, and cook, turning once, until they are golden and barely cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 4 -Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate.
Step 5 -Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet.
Step 6 -Add the mushrooms to the butter and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7 -Add the shallots, the garlic, and the salt and cook, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 8 -Add the broth, the wine, the heavy cream, the thyme, the salt, and the pepper to the mushroom mixture and use a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 9 -Bring the sauce mixture to a boil.
Step 10 -Reduce the heat to medium and gently boil the sauce, uncovered, until it has reduced by half, slightly thickened, and darkened in color, about 10-15 minutes.
Step 11 -Add the chicken breasts and their juices to the sauce and reduce the heat to low.
Step 12 -Simmer the chicken Marsala until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and is warmed through and the sauce thickens even more, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 13 -Serve the chicken drizzled with the sauce and garnished with the parsley.
