This recipe is quick and simple enough for a weekday dinner and fancy enough for a weekend dinner party.

Ingredients

4 chicken breasts sliced horizontally and pounded to 1/2″ thick

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

5 Tbsp olive oil, divided

3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

8 oz white button mushrooms sliced

8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced

2 Tbsp shallots minced

2 cloves garlic minced

2/3 cup dry Marsala wine

2/3 cup beef stock

Sprig of fresh thyme (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter to a large pan or skillet, and heat over MED-HIGH heat.
  2. Sprinkle pounded chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides, then lightly dredge in the 1/3 cup flour. Shake off excess flour and add chicken to hot pan. Work in batches if needed, as over-crowding the pan will prevent the chicken from crisping up.
  3. Cook chicken about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden.
  4. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  5. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter to the pan and add mushrooms.
  6. Saute about 5-8 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper about half-way through cooking.
  7. Remove mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
  8. Add remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil, then add shallots and garlic. Sauté about 1 minute, until soft and fragrant.
  9. Sprinkle shallots and garlic with 1 Tbsp flour and stir to coat. Cook for a minute.
  10. Pour in Marsala wine and beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  11. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes, or until sauce is slightly thickened.
  12. Place chicken and mushrooms back into the pan, making sure to include all the juices from the plate into the pan – that’s pure flavor there!
  13. Add 1 Tbsp butter to the center of the pan, add a sprig of thyme  if desired, then cover the pan and let cook about 2 minutes.
  14. Stir and spoon sauce over chicken.
  15. Serve over pasta or rice if desired.
