Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6 oz) Chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup Fresh mushrooms, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup Green onion, chopped
  • 1/3 cup Alcohol-free Marsala alternative (grape juice and vinegar blend)
  • 1/3 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/8 cup Whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
  4. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and green onions, sautéing until softened.
  6. Stir in the alcohol-free Marsala alternative to deglaze the pan, scraping up the flavorful browned bits.
  7. Whisk in the heavy cream and milk, simmering until the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet to coat in the sauce.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure you do not crowd the pan to get a good sear on the chicken. The sauce can be thickened further by simmering for an extra minute if preferred. Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
