Creamy Chicken Marsala with Pasta image

I am a a primarily chicken eater but you can use veal or boneless pork chops instead of chicken, you can also make double the sauce if you like a more saucy dish.

5 Tbsp butter
2 tsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 c fresh sliced portabello and white or cremini mushrooms
3 Tbsp finely chopped shallots
1 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic cloves
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp salt divided
1/4 tsp black pepper divided
1/2 c flour
1 can(s) chicken broth (small can)
3/4 c dry marsala wine
1/2 c frozen green peas (optional)
3 Tbsp heavy cream
1 pkg of your favorite pasta (i like thin spaghetti or angel hair)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 teaspoons olive oil, shallots and garlic; cook until tender. Add mushrooms and cook 3 additional minutes; remove mushroom mixture from pan. Set aside.
  • 2. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to a 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge chicken breast halves in flour.
