Boneless and skinless chicken breasts (cutlets)
2 cups onions
2 cups mushrooms
1 cup all purpose flour for dredging
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup Marsala wine
1 tbsp. olive oil
1-2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Directions:

1. In a glass dish combine the flour with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Mix well. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and set on a plate.
2. In a deep skillet, over moderate heat add in the 1 tbsp butter and olive oil. Let this come up to heat where you see the butter start bubbling.

3. To the same pan add 1 tbsp. butter add in the onions garlic and mushrooms. Stir well and cook for about 4-5 mins.
4. Add the wine and de glaze the pan. Stir well. Allow this to cook for about 4 minutes to let the alcohol burn off. Add in the chicken broth, stir well and cook until you have reduced the broth by 1/3.
5. Add the chicken back to the pan. Coat the chicken and cook for about 6 mins. Serve with vegetable or pasta.
