Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the same skillet. Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until browned. Stir and continue cooking 2 more minutes.

  4. 4

    Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up all the browned bits from the pan. Let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  7. 7

    Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the top and simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat through.

  8. 8

    Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
