Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 slices pancetta
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Make a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a slit horizontally along the side.
- Place a slice of pancetta inside each pocket.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Deglaze the skillet with Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
