Servings: 2 people
Calories: 603kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breasts butterflied and pounded thin
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- ½ cup onion diced finely
- 16 oz baby bella mushrooms sliced
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup marsala wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
- Butterfly and pound chicken breasts. Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breasts lengthwise down the center to create two thinly sliced breasts. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts for a few seconds. This helps you have tender chicken. Do NOT skip this step.
- In a shallow bowl mix together flour, salt & pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture.
- Prepare a greased 9x13 glass baking dish and preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large pan on the stove, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Once browned, place the chicken in the glass baking dish, cover, and put in the oven to keep warm.
- In the same pot you sautéd the chicken, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Add garlic, onion and mushrooms. Saute for 7-10 minutes until softened. Add the marsala wine & chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- When the mushrooms are softened, remove the chicken from the oven and pour the broth/mushroom mixture on top of the chicken. You can bake in the oven for a few more minutes, or serve immediately. Top with fresh parsley & enjoy.
