Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 5 slices prosciutto, chopped
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
- 2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and place a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on top of them.
- Use a meat mallet or heavy rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour and set aside.
- In a skillet over a medium-high heat, add the olive oil and half the butter. Allow to melt and heat.
- Once hot, pan fry the prepared chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through - about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep in mind, larger chicken breasts will need more time to cook. Use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer to check for doneness. Chicken is cooked through when internal temperature registers at 165˚F.
- Remove the cooked chicken and set aside. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and once hot and melted, add the prosciutto. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat and pour in the Marsala wine, chicken broth, and cream. Let cook until slightly thickened, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and allow to warm up, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat; top with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
