Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless chicken breast halves, skin removed
1/3 cup flour
1/8 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
salt
4 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons dry Marsala wine or a dry Chardonnay
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Place chicken breast halves between sheets of plastic wrap; gently pound to thin to an even thickness. Combine flour, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a plastic food storage bag. Add chicken and coat well; shake excess flour mixture off. In large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté chicken breasts for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turn and sprinkle with a little salt. Place on platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Add mushrooms to the skillet with a little more butter, if needed. Sauté for 3 minutes, until browned and tender. Add Marsala wine and lemon juice; simmer for 1 minute. Put chicken back in skillet; simmer for 1 minute longer. Arrange chicken on platter; pour sauce and mushrooms over the chicken and garnish with a little chopped parsley.
