  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Pound to 1/4-inch thickness between plastic wrap.
