Chicken Marsala

This Chicken Marsala recipe is so easy and super good!  Even my picky Husband liked it!
  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves without skin
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil, dried
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 to 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (1/2 to 1 cup sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
Pound chicken to 1/4" thickness (I put the chicken in a Ziplock freezer bag, then pound it thin with a heavy can). Combine flour, salt, pepper, and basil; mix well. Heat oil and butter in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour mixture. Cook chicken until lightly browned on first side (about 2 to 3 minutes). Turn chicken and add mushrooms around the chicken pieces. Cook about 2 minutes longer, until lightly browned; stir the mushrooms. Add Marsala wine to pan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Serve with hot cooked pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.
