Instructions
- 1Mix the flour with salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- 2Heat the olive oil and one portion of butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 2 chicken breasts and cook 3–4 minutes per side over medium-high heat until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a warm plate and tent with foil. Repeat with the remaining 2 chicken breasts in the same skillet.
- 3In the same pan with remaining pan drippings, melt the second portion of butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook 2–3 minutes, scraping up browned bits from the bottom, until the mushrooms are golden brown.
- 4Add the fresh garlic and cook over medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 5Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, then simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until reduced by half and slightly thickened.
- 6Stir in the heavy cream and return the cooked chicken to the pan. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- 7Divide the chicken and sauce evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Top with fresh chopped parsley.
- 8Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat and serve over pasta, rice, or your choice of carb side.
