Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Cooking Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F before serving.
- Don't overcook the chicken or it will become dry and tough.
Instructions:
1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the Marsala wine to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Stir in the butter until melted and smooth. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.
6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
