Description

A comforting Italian-American classic featuring tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a rich Marsala wine sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and sauté until softened and caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  6. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer, allowing it to reduce slightly.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, letting it simmer in the sauce for another 10 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently.
