Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, portobello, or a combination of the three)
  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup dry Marsala wine
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried)

Equipment

  • 1 large non-stick skillet
  • 1 platter

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and saute until cooked through (about 3-4 minutes per side). Transfer the chicken to a platter and cover with a plate to keep warm.
  2. Add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute about 3 minutes, or until browned. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the flour, and stir well to blend. Add the wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes). Stir in the parsley. Plate the chicken and spoon the mushroom mixture over top.

Notes

Tenderizing the Chicken: To ensure tender and juicy chicken, lightly pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy pan. This process helps to even out the thickness of the chicken, allowing for more even cooking.
