Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- ½ tsp salt (divided)
- 1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (1 tbsp reserved)
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- ½ white onion (sliced thinly)
- ½ cup Marsala cooking wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley (minced)
- 2 tbsp salted butter
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Use a freezer bag and a tenderizing mallet to flatten each piece to 1/4 inch thick.
- In a shallow bowl, mix ½ tsp salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and all-purpose flour, reserving 1 tbsp of flour. Coat the chicken in this mixture and place on a clean plate.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side in batches if necessary. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tsp salt, sliced mushrooms, and onions to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes until browned, scraping the bottom of the pan for flavor.
- Pour the Marsala wine and chicken broth into the pan, scraping the bottom again to release browned bits. Simmer until the liquid reduces by a third, around 4 minutes.
- Create a slurry with the reserved flour and a bit of water until smooth. Add this mixture, parsley, and butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter melts, then return the chicken to the pan to cook for an additional 4 minutes in the sauce.
- Garnish with more parsley if desired, adjust seasonings, and serve over pasta or any side of your choice.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the cooking wine for a few hours before cooking.
Serve with your favorite pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
