Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup butter
- 3 cups sliced portobello mushrooms
- ¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ cup packed fresh spinach
- 1 cup grape juice
Instructions
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of wax paper and gently pound them to a uniform ¼-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- Season and Dredge: Season the flour with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Dredge each chicken piece in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Cook the chicken until browned and fully cooked, turning as necessary for even cooking. Set the chicken aside to keep warm.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.
- Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet's bottom. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate Spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, approximately 2 minutes.
- Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Mushroom Alternatives: You can substitute portobello mushrooms with cremini or button mushrooms for a different flavor.
- Sun-Dried Tomato Options: If sun-dried tomatoes are unavailable, use diced sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil for a similar taste.
- Spinach Choices: Kale or Swiss chard can be used instead of spinach, but note that cooking times may vary.
