Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and become tender, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the chicken with the rich mushroom sauce poured over the top.
Notes
- You can add a touch of cream to the sauce at the end for a creamier texture.
- Serve the dish over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute Marsala wine with grape juice and a splash of vinegar.
