Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 6-8 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup dry Marsala

  • 3 tablespoon butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cup sliced fresh button or cremini mushrooms

  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped shallot (1 medium)

  • Hot cooked pasta (optional)

  • Snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish stir together flour, thyme, salt, and pepper; set aside. Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly until about 1/4 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Dip chicken pieces into flour mixture, turning to coat.

  2. In a small bowl whisk together any remaining flour mixture, the broth, and Marsala; set aside.

  3. In an extra-large skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink, turning once. Transfer chicken to a serving platter; cover and keep warm.

  4. For sauce, add mushrooms and shallot to skillet; cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Carefully add Marsala mixture. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter until incorporated. To serve, spoon sauce over chicken and, if desired, pasta. Sprinkle with parsley.
