Servings: 4
Calories: 521kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pound chicken breasts (2 breasts halved and pounded 1/2” thick)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms
- 3 slices bacon (cooked and chopped) (Optional!)
- 1 cup Marsala wine (or cooking wine)
- ½ cup cooking sherry
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper and oregano. Mix well.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour on all sides.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the butter is hot, add the chicken and brown on each side. (At this point it doesn’t need to be cooked fully...just browned in the butter.)
- Add the garlic, mushrooms and bacon (if desired) to the pan.
- Add the Marsala and sherry.
- Cover the skillet, lower the heat so that the mixture is simmering. Simmer for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken once during cooking.
- In the last 2 minutes of cooking, combine the heavy cream and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the cream into the skillet and stir. It will thicken slightly during the last minute or two of cooking.
- The chicken is done when the juices run clear. (It should test 165º Farenheit in the middle.)
- Serve over your favorite pasta noodles or rice.
