Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge each piece in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess flour.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Brown the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the sliced mixed mushrooms and sauté until they are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the sweet Marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, dried thyme, and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. Stir to combine.

  4. 5

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Cover and let it simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

  5. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve the chicken Marsala hot with the sauce and mushrooms poured over the top.
