Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp fresh scallions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken (5 minutes): Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Cook the Chicken (6-7 minutes): In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Veggies (8-10 minutes): In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to brown. Add the tomatoes and green beans, cooking until the beans are tender and the tomatoes start to soften.
  4. Add Marsala and Stock (5-6 minutes): Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
  5. Combine Chicken and Veggies (6-8 minutes): Return the chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer in the sauce until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has slightly thickened.
  6. Garnish and Serve (2 minutes): Transfer the chicken and veggies to serving plates. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and parsley.

Notes

Be sure to use a good quality Marsala for the best results and for the distinct flavor. If you can’t find Marsala, you can substitute with dry sherry or a mixture of brandy and white wine. Pair this dish with crusty bread or rice pilaf to soak up the delicious sauce. A crisp salad or roasted potatoes go wonderfully as well.
