- 2 pounds chicken breast sliced thin (about 4 breasts)
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper plus more as needed
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus more as needed
- 10 ounces sliced mushrooms your favorite variety (shitakes, baby bella, white button)
- 1 cup marsala wine dry preferred (sweet okay too)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped for garnish
on a large platter, combine flour with salt and pepper
coat each piece of chicken with seasoned flour, shake off excess and set aside
heat 1/4 olive oil over medium high heat and then cook sliced chicken in batches (do not overcrowd the pan)
cook time will depend on thickness of chicken but generally takes about 3 or 4 minutes total time, per batch, if on thin side (thicker uncut breasts will take 5 minutes each side)
remove cooked chicken to a clean plate and then add mushrooms to pan, season with additional salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes; if mushrooms release water, be sure to cook it off.
add marsala wine and continue heating for a few seconds then add chicken broth and butter
add chicken breasts back to pan and heat for a few minutes until sauce has slightly thickened
check seasoning and add more salt if necessary; top with chopped parsley and enjoy!
