Here are the ingredients you will need:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts – pounded
• 2-3 tablespoons of butter
• 2-3 teaspoons minced garlic
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms – diced cremini or white
• ⅓ cup of flour
• ¾ cup of marsala cooking wine
• ½ cup of chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese

Follow these steps to make Chicken Lombardy:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a large baking dish by lightly greasing it, then set it aside.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add garlic, sautéing for a minute or two. Incorporate the mushrooms and cook for around 2-3 minutes until they’re soft. Afterward, use a slotted spoon to transfer the mushrooms to a bowl or plate and set aside.

Next, dredge the chicken breasts in flour. In the same skillet (no need to wash it), cook the chicken for about 1-2 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer the chicken to the greased baking dish and layer the sautéed mushrooms on top.

Pour the marsala wine and chicken broth into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Allow it to reach a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. Once ready, drizzle this sauce over the chicken and mushrooms.

Mix the cheese together and sprinkle it generously on top.

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve over your favorite pasta or creamy mashed potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
