Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Add the Liquid

    Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the top, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
