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
Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- 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
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
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 5
Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up all the browned bits from the pan. Let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
- 6
Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 7
Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the top and simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat through.

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