I believe this recipe originated
with Tyler Florence ... but they are all so similar.
Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless, chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
8 ounces crimini or porcini mushrooms, stemmed and halved
1/2 cup sweet Marsala wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay
a piece of plastic wrap over them; pound with a flat meat mallet,
until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow
platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix
with a fork to distribute evenly.
Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet. When
the oil is nice and hot, dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets
in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Slip the cutlets
into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side until golden,
turning once – do this in batches if the pieces don't fit
comfortably in the pan. Remove the chicken to a large platter
in a single layer to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto to the drippings
in the pan, saute for 1 minute to render out some of the fat.
Now, add the mushrooms and saute until they are nicely browned
and their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes; season with
salt and pepper.
Pour the Marsala in the pan and boil down for a few seconds to
cook out the alcohol. Add the chicken stock and simmer for a minute
to reduce the sauce slightly. Stir in the butter and return the
chicken to the pan; simmer gently for 1 minute to heat the chicken
through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped
parsley before serving.
