What you need
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 3)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 oz. cremini or white mushrooms, sliced 1/8 inch thick (about 2-1/4 cups)
- 4 large cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup dry Marsala
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 3 oz. crumbled Gorgonzola (2/3 cup)
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
What you do
- Trim the chicken, removing the tenders, and slice on an angle into 3/4-inch-thick pieces; season generously with salt and pepper.
- In a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan, heat 2 Tbs. of the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Add half of the chicken and cook, flipping once, until lightly browned and just barely cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate; repeat with the remaining chicken. Cover with foil to keep warm.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 Tbs. oil.
- Add the mushrooms, season lightly with salt, and sauté, stirring with a wooden spoon, until softened and well browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds.
- Pour in the Marsala and scrape the pan with the spoon to loosen any browned bits; simmer until the Marsala is reduced slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and simmer until thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add two-thirds of the Gorgonzola and stir until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Taste the sauce; add salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the chicken along with any accumulated juices and turn to coat with the sauce.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with the remaining cheese and the parsley
