Instructions

Add the chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper to a large ziploc bag and shake around until all the chicken is coated.
Add olive oil to a large skillet and set to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes, flip and cook for another 4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Then transfer to a plate and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the butter and garlic. As the butter starts to melt, add the mushrooms and onion and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the onions are tender.
Sprinkle the flour over top then add the chicken broth, marsala and cream. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce heat to a low boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. Add the chicken back to the skillet and scoop the mushroom sauce on top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and freshly cracked black pepper. Serve with noodles, rice, vegetables or whatever sounds good!
