Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- ¾ cup marsala wine
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 12 oz spaghetti
Steps
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package. If your chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half horizontally into thin cutlets.
- Season the cutlets with salt and pepper and dredge lightly in flour.
- Heat the oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken 3-4 minutes per side until golden and 165°F. Move to a plate.
- Add 1 tbsp butter and the mushrooms and cook 5 minutes until browned. Add the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the marsala, scraping up the browned bits, and simmer 2 minutes. Add the broth and cream and simmer 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened; stir in the last tbsp butter.
- Return the chicken to the pan to warm through and spoon the mushroom sauce over it. Serve with the spaghetti.
On the side: Simple green salad (5 min)
1 bag bagged salad greens, 1 bottle salad dressing
