4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp fresh thyme
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge in flour and shake off excess.
Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in an oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining butter and mushrooms. Sauté until golden, about 8 minutes.
Stir in garlic and shallots. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
Pour in Marsala wine. Simmer and scrape the pan, cooking 3–4 minutes.
Add chicken broth, cream, and thyme. Simmer until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to pan. Spoon sauce over the top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Let rest 5 minutes. Top with parsley and serve.
