Ingredients

1 pound thin-cut chicken breasts (see note)
Salt and pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
2 medium shallots peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup Marsala wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Generously season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the flour to a shallow bowl and dredge the chicken cutlets until coated. Set aside on a plate.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook on each side for about 3 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
To the same skillet, add the shallots and cook for about 3 minutes or until slightly translucent. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 3 more minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for 1 more minute. Remove all the veggies from the skillet and set aside in a bowl.
To the hot skillet add the butter and let melt. Add the flour and mix until a paste forms. Cook the roux for 1 minute stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the Marsala wine until there are no lumps, and bring to a simmer.
As soon as the sauce thickens, add the chicken broth, and stir until slightly thickened. Add the mushroom mixture back to the pan along with the chicken breasts. Use a spoon to coat the chicken with the sauce until warmed through.
Remove from the heat and serve warm with marsala sauce spooned over the chicken.

Notes

You can buy thin-cut chicken breasts from the store. Or you can purchase standard boneless, skinless chicken breastsand slice them in half horizontally to create thin-cut breasts. I usually buy whichever is cheaper.
