Steps
Cover the chicken breasts with a cling wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are no thicker than 1/2 inch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides and dredge in flour.
Fry in olive oil until golden over medium-high heat for approximately 5 minutes. Do not over cook as the chicken breasts will be quite thin and will cook fast. Remove to a separate plate and set aside.
To the same pan add chopped shallots and cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, then add sliced mushrooms, salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes, then add 1 tbsp of flour, stir and cook for a minute longer, then add marsala wine and turn the heat up to medium, add chicken stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and return the chicken to the pan, let it heat through in the sauce, simmer for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken to a desired consistency.
Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley and a side dish of your choice.

Robert on 2026-09-14 (5 stars): This a great recipe chicken was tender you could cut with a fork and full of flavor. the only thing that I did different was adding chicken broth a little at a time to keep the sauce thicker. served the dish with gorgenzola mashed potatoes and garlic sauteed green beans.
Elizabeth on 2026-09-13 (5 stars): Very easy recipe. I added a splash of of heavy cream to thicken the sauce a bit.
Micha on 2026-08-31 (5 stars): I haven’t made it yet but looks delicious! Was wondering if I can replace chicken gravy mix instead of flour ?

Angela on 2026-08-01 (5 stars): This was really good and what I was thinking I wanted to make! I didn't have shallots, but I had a leek so used some of that. I did add a pat of butter to the sauce before I put the chicken back in. Thanks for sharing your recipe and helping us out.
Casey on 2026-07-26 (5 stars): So easy and turned out great!
Hutch on 2026-07-19 (5 stars): Absolutely delicious and full of flavor! I did add a pat of salted butter when I added the mushrooms. I served it over angel hair pasta and also served it over fresh cooked spinach for a healthier version. So darn good! .
A Hagey on 2026-07-14 (5 stars): Your recipe was easy and delicious. I like garlic, so I fried a few cloves in the olive oil before I put the chicken in. I removed them when I removed the chicken. I will definitely make it again!
Sandra on 2026-06-28 (5 stars): Delicious!!! Perfect amount of each ingredient. I did add butter when adding the mushrooms. The recipe called for only 2 tbsps of oil for the entire dish. Seems like an omission.
