Ingredients

8 ounces baby bella, cremini, or white button mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium), butterflied or pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2/3 cup dry Marsala wine
2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Dredge the chicken in flour, seasoning it with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, shaking off the excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Sear half the chicken until golden, 3–5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding the rest of the butter and oil.
In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter and sauté mushrooms until tender and browned, about 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in Marsala wine, chicken broth, and remaining salt. Scrape up any browned bits from the skillet and simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Return the chicken and any juices to the skillet. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the remaining butter until melted. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
