how to make Chicken Marsala

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Marsala wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

1. Start by flattening the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick. You can do this by placing them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding them with a meat mallet.

4. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
5. Pour in the Marsala wine and scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the chicken broth and return the chicken to the skillet. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
7. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
