Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp butter, divided
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Mix almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.

  3. 3

    Coat the chicken breasts in the almond flour mixture, removing any excess.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Cook the chicken until golden brown on each side, approximately 3-4 minutes per side, then transfer to a baking dish.

  6. 6

    Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until fully cooked.

  7. 7

    In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté mushrooms until they are golden, about 5-7 minutes.

  8. 8

    Add chicken broth and Marsala wine, scraping any bits from the pan, and let it simmer until the sauce reduces by half, about 10 minutes.

  9. 9

    Pour in the heavy cream and heat for another 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  10. 10

    Serve the chicken with the sauce poured over it and garnish with fresh parsley.

Chef's tip

For a thicker sauce, consider adding a pinch of xanthan gum.
