Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until browned, about 2 to 3 minutes per side and set aside.

Add the butter and mushrooms and saute until browned on both sides, about 7 to 8 minutes.

Add the shallot and saute for 1 minute.

Add the garlic and saute for half a minute.

Add the marsala, deglaze the pan, add the chicken broth and lemon juice, bring to a boil and let simmer until reduced by half, about 5 to 7 minutes.
