- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced

- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in heavy cream (if using) and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
