Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
- 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 3/4 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- Prep your ingredients by slicing the mushrooms and mincing the garlic.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear seasoned chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan.
