• 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms

How to make it

1. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper on a shallow plate.
2. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture until lightly coated, shaking off any excess.
3. Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
4. Cook the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
5. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the same pan and sauté the mushrooms until they are soft and golden brown.
6. Stir in the garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
7. Pour in the Marsala wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
8. Add the chicken broth and simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
9. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the pan to warm through.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips

Pound the chicken thin so it cooks quickly and evenly. Spoon extra sauce and mushrooms right over the top before serving.
