Ingredients
- ½ cup (2.5-ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon Creole seasoning (See Tip 1)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of all fat
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound (16-ounces) sliced Cremini mushrooms (See Tip 2)
- ¾ cup (6-ounces) dry Marsala (See Tip 3)
- 1 cup (8-ounces) chicken broth
- ¼ cup (2 ounces) sour cream
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Minced parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the chicken broth and sour cream. Set aside.
- Combine flour and Creole seasoning in a Ziploc bag. Set aside.
- Trim chicken breasts of all fat. Horizontally slice chicken breasts in half. Place between plastic wrap and pound to ¼-inch thick. If the pieces are large, cut in half.
- Combine the flour and Creole seasoning in a Ziploc bag. Add the chicken pieces; shake to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken pieces in batches; cook tuntil golden brown on both sides, about three minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the mushrooms to skillet; cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are golden brown around the edges and have given off their liquid. Add the Marsala wine and bring to a boil, scraping to remove any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken broth/sour cream mixture and cook for 3 minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. (See Tip 4)
- Lower the heat to medium and return the chicken breasts to the pan. Continue to cook until the chicken breasts are cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, garnish with minced parsley or chopped chives and serve immediately. Yield: 6 servings.
Notes
- I used Emeril's Essence for the Creole seasoning.
- May also use white button mushrooms in place of the Cremini mushrooms.
- Marsala comes in both Dry and Sweet. You should use Dry Marsala. You could also use Madeira in place of the Dry Marsala.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Also, if it needs additional thickening, add a slurry made with chicken broth and cornstarch.
