Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts thinly slice or pounded thin
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp Italian seasoning mix of basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme
  • 1/4 cup canola oil adjust as needed to cover pan
  • 1 white onion sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 3-4 garlic cloves diced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 2/3 cup marsala wine
  • 1/4 cup parsley roughly chopped, to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat canola oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Mix breadcrumbs, flour, and Italian seasoning and toss the chicken breasts in the mixture to coat.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and continue cooking around 5 minutes or until done. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 2 minutes. Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan.
  • Add butter to the pan and melt, mixing in flour and stirring constantly to form a roux. After thickening into a paste-like texture, mix with the vegetables. Add beef broth and marsala wine to the pan. Simmer 20 minutes.
  • Return the chicken to the pan to heat up. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta with a side of garlic bread.
