Lightened-Up Chicken Marsala

Step 1

Place the flour in a shallow bowl with 1/2 tsp of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.

Step 3

Heat a large, deep frying pan over medium high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of the butter and a spray of olive oil.

Step 4

Cook half the batch of chicken (3 pieces) for about 5 minutes on one side.

Step 5

Spray the tops with olive oil, then flip, and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side.

Step 6

Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate. Repeat this step with the remaining chicken pieces. They will not be fully cooked, but will continue to cook later in the sauce.

Step 7

Remove the second batch of chicken from the pan.

Step 8

To the same frying pan, add more olive oil spray and the shallots and garlic.

Step 9

Cook for a minute and then add the mushrooms.

Step 10

Cover the pan and let the vegetables steam and start to cook down.

Step 11

After approximately 8 minutes the mushrooms should be softened.

Step 12

Add the wine and broth to the pan to deglaze and scrape the bottom of the pan, making sure all the cooked bits are incorporated.

Step 13

Let the liquid come to a boil.

Step 14

Add the chicken pieces (as well as the juice that collected on the dish) back in and toss to coat.

Step 15

Cover with the lid and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken from the flour the chicken was dredged in.

Step 16

If too much liquid has evaporated, add a splash more broth.

Step 17

Cook until the chicken is cooked through and sauce is to your liking, taste for seasoning. Add salt or pepper to taste.

Step 18

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
