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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Return the chicken to the pan to heat up. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta with a side of garlic bread.
