Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- ½ tsp salt (divided)
- 1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked)
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (1 tbsp reserved)
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- ½ white onion (sliced thinly)
- ½ cup Marsala cooking wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley (minced)
- 2 tbsp salted butter
Instructions
- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and flatten them with a mallet until they are 1/4" thick.
- In a shallow bowl, combine ½ tsp salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and all-purpose flour, reserving 1 tbsp of flour. Coat the chicken in the mixture and shake off excess flour.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side in batches, if necessary, until cooked. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tsp salt, mushrooms, and onions to the skillet, cooking for about 3 minutes until they brown.
- Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer until liquid reduces by one-third, approximately 4 minutes.
- Make a slurry with the reserved flour whisked with a small amount of water. Add the slurry, minced parsley, and butter to the pan until melted. Add the chicken back, flipping it halfway, and cook for another 4 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and adjust seasonings as desired. Serve over pasta if available.
