Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Step 2: Cook the Chicken<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Heat the Oil and Cook the Chicken:<\/strong> In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Step 3: Prepare the Sauce<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Saut\u00e9 the Mushrooms:<\/strong> In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt.

Allow the wine to reduce by half, which should take about 4-5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Incorporate Broth and Cream:<\/strong> Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Step 4: Finish the Dish<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Reintroduce the Chicken:<\/strong> Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over each piece. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and the flavors meld.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Garnish and Serve:<\/strong> Sprinkle with fresh parsley just before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Recipe Summary<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Servings:<\/strong> 4<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooking Time:<\/strong> 35 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 45 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Calorie Count:<\/strong> Approximately 450 calories per serving<\/p>\n<p>With its subtly sweet and luscious sauce, Chicken Marsala stands as an elegant dinner choice that\u2019s sure to impress.
