Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

Cooking Tips:

- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the chicken and vegetables to prevent burning.

3. Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.
4. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
