Creating your Easy Chicken Marsala Skillet is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and stir until they are browned, about 5 minutes.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
6. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half, which will take about 3-5 minutes.
7. Add Broth and Herbs: Stir in the chicken broth and thyme. Simmer for an additional 3 minutes.
8. Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Simmer for a couple more minutes until everything is heated through.
9. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These steps ensure that you’ll create a deliciously flavorful dish that you and your loved ones will enjoy.
