🧾 Ingredients

Proteins

• 4 skinless #chicken breast fillets
• 1 slice #prosciutto, diced

Dairy

• 1/3 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Pantry & Dry Goods

• 2 (4-ounce) cans sliced #mushrooms, drained
• 1/4 cup #marsala-wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons corn starch
• Olive oil

Produce

• 2 teaspoons minced #shallots
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

Spices & Seasonings

• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon marjoram
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (for sauce)

🔪 Instructions

1. Melt butter over low heat in a medium saucepan.
2. Add prosciutto. Turn heat up to medium-high to saute the prosciutto in the melted butter for about 2 to 3 minutes (be careful not to burn the butter). Add shallots and garlic and saute for about 30 seconds. Add Marsala wine, simmer for another 30 seconds or so, then add mushrooms and black pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
3. Dissolve corn starch in chicken broth. Add the broth to the saucepan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Add parsley and cream to the sauce and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until thick. Remove the pan from the heat, then cover it until needed.
5. Preheat barbecue grill on high heat. Combine ingredients for chicken seasoning in a small bowl. Use your thumb and fingers to crush the herbs and spices to make a finer blend.
6. Wrap each chicken breast in plastic wrap and pound with a kitchen mallet until uniform in thickness. Brush each chicken breast generously with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over both sides.
7. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side or until done. Give the chicken a one-quarter turn on each side while cooking to make criss-cross grill marks.
8. Serve by arranging each chicken breast on a plate. Spoon one quarter of the Marsala sauce over each serving.

📝 Notes

• Carrabba's copycat recipe. The restaurant grills over a real wood fire - crank your grill up high and keep the lid open to watch for flare-ups.
