Chicken Lombardy
Description
In this recipe, boneless skinless chicken breasts are pounded to even thickness, coated with flour, then seared briefly to develop a crust. Mushrooms are sautéed with garlic in butter until tender and fragrant, providing an earthy base. Marsala cooking wine and chicken broth are added and simmered to create a flavorful sauce that is poured over the chicken and mushrooms assembled in a baking dish. A mix of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese is added on top, then the dish is covered and baked until the chicken is fully cooked and cheese is melted and bubbly. Chopped green onions finish the dish with a mild sharpness.
The flavor balances the slight sweetness of marsala with savory mushrooms and a rich cheesy topping. The baking step melds the ingredients and ensures juicy chicken with a melty crust.
Serving with roasted vegetables and a salad is recommended to balance the richness.
