Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Place each breast between plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness.
Step 2
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dust both sides lightly with flour, shaking off excess.
Step 3
Slice mushrooms 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
Step 4
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, ~45 seconds.
Step 5
Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving—edges should turn opaque. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Add remaining 1 tbsp butter. Sauté mushrooms until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Step 7
Pour in Marsala wine. Scrape browned bits from pan bottom. Simmer 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Step 8
Return chicken to pan. Simmer 2 minutes until heated through and sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve immediately with pasta or roasted vegetables.
