Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  2. 4 tablespoons butter, divided, or more as needed
  3. 6 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  4. ½ cup all-purpose flour
  5. ¾ cup Marsala wine
  6. 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  7. ¼ teaspoon salt
  8. ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  9. ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  10. ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  11. 2 stalks green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly, just until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Dredge chicken pieces in flour.
  3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add chicken in batches, adding more butter as needed, and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish, overlapping to fit if necessary. Reserve pan drippings in the skillet. Sprinkle mushrooms evenly over the chicken.
  5. Add wine and broth to the skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Pour sauce over the chicken. Combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with green onions; sprinkle over the chicken.
  6. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear and cheese melts, 12 to 14 minutes.
  7. You can omit butter and use olive oil if you prefer. You can also use low-fat or fat-free cheeses. You can remove the wine and use all low-sodium chicken broth.

Such a pretty and tasty dish!! Season the wine sauce to your preference, and this easy and beautiful dish comes together in no time. I did the searing and oven cooking all in a cast iron for simplicity. Loved the saucy mushrooms and that fabulous cheesy topper!
