Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 pounds chicken breast (about 2 large breasts), sliced lengthwise into 4 cutlets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces brown button mushrooms, halved or thickly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Place chicken cutlets between plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/3-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same pan, add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until browned and liquid evaporates. Stir in onion powder and garlic; cook 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 4–5 minutes until reduced.
  5. Add chicken stock and stir in heavy cream. Simmer 4–5 minutes more until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer 2 minutes until heated through. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Use dry Marsala wine for best savory flavor.
  • Omit cream for a lighter version of the sauce.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice.
  • Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge.
