Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mix the flour, salt, and pepper on a large plate or shallow bowl.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then dredge them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer the cooked chicken to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
  7. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
  8. Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  9. Add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  10. Stir the cornstarch into a small amount of cold water to create a slurry, then stir it into the sauce.
  11. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  12. Pour the mushroom sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately.
