Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or cream)
1 tbsp arrowroot powder (or flour)
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Sauté mushrooms 5-7 minutes until tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
4. Pour in Marsala wine, scraping browned bits from the pan. Simmer until reduced by half (2-3 minutes).
5. Whisk chicken broth and arrowroot powder until smooth. Add to skillet with almond milk and thyme. Stir until sauce thickens 3-4 minutes.
6. Return chicken to pan, spoon sauce over top, heat 2 minutes, and serve.
Notes
Avoid overcooking garlic to preserve nutrients.
Use high-quality, dry Marsala wine.
Pat chicken dry for perfect sear.
