Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts 2 halved horizontally to make 4 fillets
½ cup all-purpose flour or all-purpose gluten free flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
1 tablespoon butter

For the Marsala sauce

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound cleaned and thinly sliced button or crimini mushrooms
3 cloves garlic minced, about 3 teaspoons
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine (not cooking Marsala, for the best flavor)
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4-1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional for garnish

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil, and keep warm. (Do this in 2 batches as needed for space in the skillet.)
In the same pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the Marsala, broth and cream. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it starts to thicken. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta or rice garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Freezing isn’t the best option for this recipe, since the creamy sauce can separate once thawed.
