Ingredients
- 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1 lb
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Chopped Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep and cook the chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 4-6 fillets. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
- Cook the mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced mushrooms for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
- Make the Marsala sauce: Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet with the mushrooms and bring to a boil over medium heat. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the remaining ingredients: Stir in the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, ground mustard, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
- Simmer the sauce: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Finish the dish: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors combine and the chicken heat through.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
