Equipment
- Skillet
- Cutting Board
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1/2 inch thick)
- to taste salt & pepper
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
- 1 cup Marsala Cooking Wine (I used Holland House)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon softened butter
Instructions
- Begin by placing a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Next, sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. This simple seasoning elevates the flavor.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned chicken to the pan. Sear and cook until browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, spray the pan with more cooking spray, and sauté onions and mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Pour in the Marsala cooking wine and let it reduce by half.
- Next, add in the chicken broth. Mix it well with the sautéed vegetables.
- In a small bowl, create a paste by mixing the softened butter with the flour, then add this mixture to the pan, stirring continuously.
- Finally, return the seared chicken to the skillet and allow it to heat through in the sauce for about three more minutes.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
