Instructions

Step 1: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 4: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (approximately 350°F/177°C).

Step 5: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7: Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 8: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Step 9: Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened.

Step 10: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the butter and parsley.

Step 11: Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!

Tips

Tip 1: Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it is cooked through.

Tip 3: Reduce the sauce until it is thick and coats the back of a spoon.
