Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to ½" thickness
  • 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil divided
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ¾ cup dry Marsala wine or low-sodium chicken stock if preferred
  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves or ½ tsp dried thyme
  • 12 oz green beans trimmed
  • Lemon wedges for serving optional

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high and brown chicken 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through; transfer to a plate.
  2. Add remaining oil, sauté mushrooms until golden about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in Marsala and simmer 2 minutes to reduce, then add chicken broth and thyme; stir and return chicken to pan to warm and finish sauce.
  4. Meanwhile steam green beans in a covered skillet or steamer for 4–6 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Swirl in butter to finish sauce and spoon over chicken; serve with green beans and lemon if liked.
