Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until they are browned and tender, about 3 minutes.
  4. Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is heated through.
  6. Serve the chicken marsala with your choice of side dish, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

If you don’t have Marsala wine, you can use a dry white wine such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc as a substitute. Alternatively, you can use chicken or vegetable broth or stock mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to replace the Marsala wine in the recipe. The flavor of the dish will be slightly different, but it will still be delicious. Enjoy!
