Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 8 ounces cremini (baby bella) mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large shallot, finely minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¾ cup dry Marsala wine
  • ¾ cup gluten-free chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Pound chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge Chicken: Dredge each cutlet in gluten-free flour, shaking off excess.
  • Sear Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F). Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté Aromatics: Add remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Add mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add shallots and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Deglaze: Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
  • Simmer Sauce: Stir in chicken broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season to taste.
  • Combine & Serve: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over. Heat through for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
