Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon garlic
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh parsley
  • Lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Slice your chicken breasts in half to make four thin fillets.
  • Place each fillet between cling films and use a meat tenderizer to pound it until it’s about ¼ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat each fillet in all-purpose flour, ensuring an even layer. Shake off any excess flour. This will help thicken the sauce later and give the chicken a nice crust.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place the chicken fillets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate.
  • Add the remaining butter to the same skillet. Toss in your sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft and slightly browned.
  • Pour the Marsala wine into the pan. Use a whisk to scrape up any brown bits stuck on the skillet—that’s where all the flavor is hiding!
  • Stir in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, letting the sauce reduce. If using cream, stir it in now for a richer texture.
  • Return the chicken fillets to the pan. Spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for another 5-8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens to your liking.
  • Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve the Chicken Marsala warm. Enjoy every bite!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of chicken stock to loosen the sauce.
  • Avoid microwaving for too long, as it can make the chicken rubbery.
