2 tbsp olive oil
4 thinly sliced chicken breasts
8 oz cremini mushrooms
sliced), (baby Bella mushrooms
¼ cup diced onion
4 garlic cloves minced
1 cup chicken broth
¼ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp salt
⅛ tsp pepper
¼ cup Marsala cooking wine
or Marsala wine
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
optional

Directions

1
Melt 1 TB butter and 1 TB olive oil over medium-high heat in a skillet. Salt and pepper chicken breasts on each side, then sear it on both sides so that it is nicely browned. (Approx 4 min on each side.)
2
Remove the browned chicken from the skillet to a platter and set aside.
3
Turn the heat down to medium then add the remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet.
4
Add your sliced mushrooms, onions, and minced garlic.
5
Sauté the mushrooms, onions, and garlic over medium heat until the mushrooms are golden brown.
6
Add chicken broth and deglaze skillet by scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. The brown bits have lots of flavors, so keep them in your pan.
7
Add the marsala cooking wine and spices and bring to a boil.
8
Add the heavy whipping cream and turn down the stove to medium. Boil for 6-10 minutes so that the sauce can thicken and reduce. ***See note in the last step if you prefer a thicker sauce.
9
Add your browned chicken back to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees with an internal thermometer.
10
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more chicken broth.
11
Garnish with parsley and serve alone, with a salad, or with over steamed cauliflower rice.
12
****If you prefer a thicker sauce, follow the instructions below instead of steps 8 and 9. Add the heavy whipping cream to the skillet and stir to combine the ingredients. Then, remove 2 tablespoons of the sauce from the pan and place it in a small bowl with 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum. Whisk together until combined, then return to the skillet along with the browned chicken and simmer on medium/low for 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and chicken reaches 165 degrees with an internal thermometer.
