A cozy skillet dinner featuring tender chicken and a rich mushroom wine sauce, ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thick
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, minced (optional)
  • 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken to even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour, shaking off extra.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and almost cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms with a pinch of salt. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring a few times, until browned. Stir in shallot and garlic; cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in Marsala wine to deglaze, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce by about half.
  5. Add chicken broth and thyme. Simmer 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in Dijon if using.
  6. Stir in cream (if using). Return chicken and any juices to the pan. Simmer on medium-low 3–5 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon and chicken reaches 165°F inside.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Finish with parsley and a light squeeze of lemon if you like. Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, polenta, or rice.
