Ingredients
  

  • 225 grams 8 ounces package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 6 skinned and boned chicken breasts
  • 60 grams 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 75 grams 1/3 cup butter
  • 180 ml 3/4 cup Marsala wine
  • 120 ml 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 60 grams 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 60 grams 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large nonstick skillet, cook the sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of melted butter over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes or until they become tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. Place the chicken between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap and flatten to a thickness of 1/8 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the chicken in batches, using 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden. Place the cooked chicken in a lightly greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish, overlapping the edges. Repeat the procedure with the remaining chicken and butter, reserving the pan drippings in the skillet. Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the chicken.
  • Add the Marsala wine and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
  • Combine the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses with the chopped green onions, then sprinkle this cheese mixture over the chicken.
  • Bake the dish uncovered at 450°F (230°C) for 12 to 14 minutes or until the cheese has melted and turned golden.
  • Serve the Chicken Lombardy hot and enjoy the tantalizing flavors of Italy.
