How to Make Basil Chicken Marsala With Mushrooms

  1. Place chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) between two sheets of wax paper and pound to approximately 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. In a large bowl or plastic bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder.
  3. Add chicken breasts to the flour mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Sauté chicken for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  6. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  7. Add 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet along with 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed).
  8. Sauté mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup Marsala wine, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, and 1 tablespoon butter.
  10. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits.
  11. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  12. Return chicken to the skillet.
  13. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the chicken to heat through. Serve immediately.
