Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Boneless skinless chicken breasts Cut in half horizontally
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour For dredging
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter Divided
  • 8 oz Cremini mushrooms Sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 3/4 cup Dry Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup Chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish
  • 1 pinch Salt and black pepper To taste

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner cutlets. Season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
  • Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and pan-fry for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, melt another tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and softened.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining tablespoon of butter. Let the sauce simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened.
  • Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet, spooning the creamy mushroom sauce over them. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
