Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
    • Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.
    • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms:
    • In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes, until they are golden brown and softened.
    • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Make the Marsala Sauce:
    • Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, using a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
    • Add the chicken broth and continue simmering for another 5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.
    • For extra richness, stir in the heavy cream (optional).
  5. Combine the Chicken and Sauce:
    • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
