Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pint baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup dry marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • chopped parsley for garnish if desired

Instructions

  1. Place the flour and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large plastic bag. Add chicken and seal. Shake thoroughly to coat.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Tap off excess flour from chicken and place in skillet.
  3. Cook 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove to another plate.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to skillet. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are brown, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cook additional one minute.
  6. Pour chicken broth into skillet and use a spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan and deglaze the pan.
  7. Add marsala, heavy cream, and additional 1 teaspoon of salt and stir to blend. Bring to a boil.
  8. Reduce heat slightly and simmer 15 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half. Return chicken to skillet and cook 4-5 minutes.
  9. Serve with parsley garnish if desired.

Notes

If you are using chicken breasts instead of tenderloins, cut each breast in half to reduce the thickness.
