Easy Chicken Marsala

Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Flour (for dredging)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced fairly thin)
• 1 large clove garlic (minced)
• 3/4 cup marsala wine (see note)
• 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 thinner cutlets. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Coat each piece in flour.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and sear it for 4-5 minutes/side or until golden. Take the chicken out of the pan and set aside (it'll finish cooking in the sauce).

3. 3

   Add the remaining butter and mushrooms to the skillet and cook them for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic and marsala wine to the skillet and let it bubble for 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Add the cream to the skillet, and then add the chicken back in. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season with extra salt & pepper if needed. I added a little bit of chopped parsley to finish it off (optional).
