This sheet pan version of the classic Italian-American dish delivers savory browned mushrooms and juicy chicken bathed in a glossy marsala wine sauce, without the fuss of stovetop searing in batches. It's an easy weeknight dinner that still feels special, and cleanup is minimal since everything cooks on a single pan.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally and pounded to even thickness
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup marsala wine
- 3/4 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a 9x13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
-
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, and arrange on one side of the sheet pan.
-
Scatter the mushrooms and shallot on the other side of the pan.
-
Drizzle the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the olive oil, then drizzle the remaining butter over the mushrooms.
-
Roast until the chicken is golden and the mushrooms have started to soften, 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, whisk together the marsala wine, chicken stock, cream, minced garlic, and thyme in a bowl.
-
Remove the pan from the oven and pour the marsala mixture evenly over the chicken and mushrooms.
-
Return the pan to the oven and roast until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the sauce has thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Let the pan rest for 5 minutes, then spoon the mushrooms and pan sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
