Servings: 2-4
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients
- 1–1 1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts — pounded ¼ inch thick.
- All purpose flour
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 1 Pinch of pepper
- 3 tbsp. Sicilian extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter — divided
- 8 oz. Portabella mushroom — sliced or chopped.
- 2–3 cloves garlic — finely chopped or minced.
- 1–2 Pinches of Italian parsley
- 2/3 cup of chicken stock
- 1 1/5 cup of dry marsala wine
Directions
- Chop your fresh portobello mushrooms to desired thickness.
- Cover the chicken breast with saran wrap and pound with meat tenderizer until it’s thin (¼ inch).
- Coat the chicken breast with all-natural flour.
- Heat your pan to medium-high heat with oil and garlic. (Recommended to use a stainless-steel pan for the best browning).
- After removing excess flour, place your chicken in the pan for a few minutes. Turn once until golden brown. This should only take about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and stir frequently. Cook until the mushrooms begin to brown (3-4 minutes).
- Add salt, pepper, and parsley to taste.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium, add chicken stock, and bring to a gentle simmer, until sauce has thickened. (this can take 10 minutes)
- Reduce heat to low and sprinkle with parsley and salt/pepper to taste.
