Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
  • to taste Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Flour (for dredging)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 7 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Marsala
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 scallions (chopped)

Instructions

Cooking Steps:

  • Begin by seasoning the halved chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  • Lightly dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  • Add the floured chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, then sauté until they are tender and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the chicken, then cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  • Once the cheese is gooey and melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
