Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the butter and sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are browned and tender.

  4. 4

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the Marsala wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the wine simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Chicken Broth

    Add the chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb some of the sauce.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve the Chicken Marsala with the sauce and mushrooms spooned over the top.
