Chicken Marsala

adapted from Martha Stewart

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves about 5 ounces each, butterflied
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces white button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup sweet Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large shallow dish; set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour, tapping off excess; set aside. Add oil to skillet. When oil is shimmering, add chicken, and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Turn over, and cook 3 minutes more. Remove chicken to a plate; set aside and keep warm.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden brown and all the released liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Remove skillet from heat, and add wine and broth. Return skillet to heat, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add garlic, lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and parsley. Cook for 2 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Pour sauce over chicken and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
