Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup sliced cremini or button mushrooms
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Gather all items and preheat a skillet over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté mushrooms: In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic; sauté until soft (about 5 minutes).
- Make the sauce: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Add chicken broth and soy sauce; simmer for about five minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken: Place seared chicken back into the skillet, allowing it to warm through in the sauce for a few minutes.
- Serve: Transfer onto plates or a serving platter, drizzle with extra sauce, and enjoy!
