A creamy, savory chicken dish baked in one skillet with golden-seared chicken breasts, mushrooms, Marsala wine, and fresh herbs. Rich, comforting, and perfect for any night of the week.
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 chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Lightly dredge in flour.
Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in an oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken on both sides, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining butter and mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until browned, about 8 minutes.
Stir in garlic and shallots. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
Deglaze the pan with Marsala wine. Simmer 3–5 minutes.
Stir in chicken broth, cream, and thyme. Simmer until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving.
