Description

Chicken Lombardy features tender chicken and mushrooms cooked in a rich Marsala wine sauce and topped with a mixture of melted mozzarella and Parmesan.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, divided, or more as needed
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
6 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Marsala wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 stalks green onions, chopped

Directions

1 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly, just until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2 Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Dredge chicken pieces in flour.
3 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
4 Melt 1 to 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add chicken in batches, adding more butter as needed, and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish, overlapping to fit if necessary. Reserve pan drippings in the skillet. Sprinkle mushrooms evenly over chicken.
5 Add wine and broth to the skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Pour sauce over chicken. Combine mozzarella and Parmesan with green onions; sprinkle over chicken.
6 Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 14 minutes.
