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

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Spatula or Tongs
  • Oven-safe dish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Start by cutting your large chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Spread some flour on a plate and dredge each piece of chicken until lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced cremini mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and browned.
  5. Pour in the Marsala and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any flavorful bits. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the chicken. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, allowing the cheese to melt for about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve warm.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat until heated through.
  • You can prepare the chicken and sauce ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator.
