Ingredients:

• 1 pound fettuccine
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 large shallot, finely chopped
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups Marsala wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Fettuccine:
2. • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken:
4. • In a shallow dish, combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
   • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. Cook the Vegetables:
6. • In the same skillet, add the chopped shallot and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
7. Make the Sauce:
8. • Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the wine is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
   • Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens about 10 minutes.
9. Combine and Serve:
10. • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat in the sauce.
    • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
