Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut in half and pounded thin
  • 3 tbsp. All purpose flour You can use rice flour or cassava flour for GF options,
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 4 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 3/4 cup baby Portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth I use low sodium
  • 1/2 tsp. dried basil or 4 large leaves minced
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • parsley

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise. Flatten the chicken to even out, about 1/4" thickness.
  • In a bag or shallow bowl add the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Coat the chicken on both sides and shake of any excess.
  • Heat 2 tbsp. olive oil in a large pan over med heat.
  • Add the chicken and sauté for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and internal temperature is 165°
  • Remove the chicken and keep warm. I like to put it on a plate with foil covering it.
  • Back to the pan, scrape up any brown bits with a spatula. Add the butter and remaining oil.
  • Next to the pan goes the shallots and mushrooms. Sauté for 3 minutes.
  • After 3 minutes glaze the pan with the wine, stir well.
  • We will then add the broth and can of chicken soup.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the basil and onion powder. Whisk and bring to a light boil. Taste test the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Now return the chicken to the pan. Cover with the wine sauce and warm for 2 minutes or so. I like a saucy chicken.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.
  • I like to toss spaghetti noodles in butter and serve the marsala over them. Mashed potatoes or risotto goes well too.
  • ENJOY!
