Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place one chicken breast half, boned side up, between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound gently with a meat mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  2. Spray a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and preheat over medium heat.
  3. Add two chicken breast halves to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, flipping once, until tender and no pink remains.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining chicken breast halves.
  5. In the same skillet, add sliced fresh mushrooms, sliced green onions, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  6. Pour the dry Marsala or dry sherry into the skillet. Stir gently and heat through for about 1 minute to combine the flavors.
  7. Spoon the mushroom and wine sauce evenly over the chicken breasts. Serve immediately.
