Ingredients
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 cups brown mushrooms , sliced (12 small mushrooms)
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 1 ½ cups marsala wine
- ⅔ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil , divided
- 3 tablespoons butter , unsalted
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt , divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cold water
Instructions
- Slice your chicken breasts in half and set aside. Wash and slice your mushrooms and set aside. Mince garlic and assemble remaining ingredients.
- Heat a large, rimmed skillet over medium heat. When hot add in a tablespoon each of oil and butter. When butter is melted, add in your mushrooms with a ¼ tsp of salt. Let caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Season your sliced chicken with 1 tsp of salt and a ½ tsp of pepper.
- Once golden, remove mushrooms to a bowl. Turn heat to medium high and add another tablespoon each of oil and butter.
- When the butter is melted, add chicken to the pan and sear on each side, until golden brown. About 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken and turn heat to low. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Slowly pour in Marsala wine, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. When all the wine is added, add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Once bubbling, let cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Slowly, while stirring, add in the heavy cream and final tablespoon of butter until completely combined. Taste and adjust salt if desired.
- Whisk together two teaspoons of cornstarch with one teaspoon of cool water until smooth. Slowly add the slurry into the pan while stirring.
- When sauce is thickening, return mushrooms and chicken to the pan, coating them with sauce and mushrooms until everything is hot.
- Serve immediately with a generous serving of sauce.
