• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper - coarse
• 1 teaspoon Basil Leaves

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 package (8 oz) sliced mushrooms
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 3/4 cup Marsala wine (usually next to the Port)
• 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breast (no more than 1 inch thick - thinner preferred). Put in plastic bag and pound with a mallet to about 1/2 inch thick.

Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, minced garlic, marjoram, minced onions, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Reserve 1 tablespoon flour mixture.

Coat chicken breast with the remaining flour mixture.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Cook chicken in batches cooking 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Thicker pieces may take 1-2 minutes per side longer.

Remove chicken from skittet and keep warm. Repeat for remaining batches.

Next add mushrooms to skillet, cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. (May need to add a little butter.)

Mix broth and the reserved flour mixture. Add to skillet along with the wine. Bring mushroom mixture to a boil, stirring to release browned bits on bottom of the skillet.

Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter and Basil - cook 2 minutes or until sauce is slightly thikened.

Spoon sauce over chicken to serve. Sprinkle with Parseley.
