The story

This version of the classic mushroom and wine skillet dinner finishes the chicken with a little Monterey Jack. It is quick enough for a weeknight and still feels special.
Make it

Method

Coat the chicken

  1. Mix the flour, salt, black pepper, and oregano in a shallow bowl. Coat each chicken cutlet lightly in the flour mixture and shake off the excess.

    About 5 min

Brown the chicken

  1. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned on the first side.

    About 4 min

Make the sauce

  1. Turn the chicken over and add the sliced mushrooms. Pour in the Marsala wine and cooking sherry.

    About 2 min

Simmer

  1. Cover the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes, turning the chicken once, until the mushrooms are tender and the chicken reaches 165°F in the center.

    About 10 min

Finish

  1. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack over the chicken. Cover for 1 to 2 minutes, until the cheese melts, then spoon the mushrooms and pan sauce over the top and serve.
