Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup Marsala wine
½ cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken – Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- Sear the Chicken – Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Mushrooms – In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and sauté the mushrooms for about 4 minutes until softened.
- Make the Sauce – Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the pan. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir in the dried oregano.
- Assemble the Dish – Return the seared chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce and mushrooms over it. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake Until Bubbly – Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve – Let the dish rest for a couple of minutes, then sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
