Chicken thighs are often cheaper and more flavorful.

Slice 8 ounces of brown mushrooms thickly and set aside.

Finely mince 2 large garlic cloves.

Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and set aside.

Cut 2 large chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 even cutlets.

Pound the chicken between plastic wrap to about 1/3 to 1/4 inch thick.

Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Dredge each chicken cutlet in 1/4 cup of flour, shaking off the excess flour.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan in a single layer.

Sauté the chicken for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, checking with an instant read thermometer to ensure it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

Add the thickly sliced mushrooms to the pan, adding more oil if needed, and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and golden.

Sprinkle the mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and the minced garlic, sautéing for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add 3/4 cup of dry Marsala wine to the pan and boil down for about 4 to 5 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates.

Pour in 3/4 cup of chicken stock while stirring the sauce, then slowly add 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Season the sauce with an additional 1/4 teaspoon of salt or to taste.

Add the chicken cutlets back to the pan and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.

Spoon the sauce over the chicken and keep on heat until the chicken is heated through.
