Preparation

Step 1

Split each chicken breast through the middle to make 2 pieces. Place in a Ziplock bag or put plastic wrap over them & pound each one flat using a meat tenderizer/mallet until they are about a quarter inch thick. Season with salt & pepper. Put flour in a shallow dish & coat chicken on both sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat & fry each piece of chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove chicken & place them on a plate covered with foil. Pour out any remaining oil & reduce heat to medium. Add butter & mushrooms. Saute mushrooms for 4-5 minutes & season salt & pepper lightly. Add Marsala wine, chicken stock, sherry, & cream (if using) allowing the liquid to reduce slightly – approx. 3 minutes. Pour mushrooms & sauce over chicken for serving.
