Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Cooked spaghetti, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Add the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a large Ziploc bag and shake to combine. Cut your chicken in half so you get two thin slices of chicken. Add the chicken to the bag and shake until the chicken is well coated.
- Cook Chicken: Heat half of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken to the pan and cook until both sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
- Sauté Mushrooms: Add the remaining oil to the pan with the mushrooms. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
- Deglaze and Make Sauce: Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine. Stir in the chicken stock and heavy cream. Cook until the sauce has reduced by half, being careful not to let it burn.
- Combine and Serve: Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and warm through, about 2 minutes. Serve over cooked spaghetti with some of the mushroom sauce and sprinkle with a bit of fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
- Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into thin cutlets to ensure it cooks properly and avoid overcooking.
- Wine: Try not to substitute the Marsala wine, as it provides a key flavor to the dish.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
- Storage: Store leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
