Description
Chicken Lombardy is a comforting skillet dinner featuring seared chicken breasts with a rich mushroom-and-Marsala sauce, topped with melted mozzarella.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat until the butter foams.
- Add the chicken breasts and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 4–6 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until softened and browned.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and simmer to reduce, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each breast, sprinkle mozzarella, cover, and cook until cheese melts and chicken reaches 165°F.
Notes
For a lighter version, use part-skim mozzarella and swap half the butter for an extra tablespoon of olive oil.
