Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off the excess.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and cook the mushrooms for 5-6 minutes until soft and browned. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the Marsala wine and scrape up any brown bits from the skillet. Let the wine simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

If you prefer, substitute chicken thighs for an even juicier result. Adjust cooking time accordingly.For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
