Steps:
- Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise, then cut the larger, thicker half again horizontally, creating 3 equally thick cutlets. Place the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a wide, shallow dish and stir to combine. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking gently to remove any excess flour, and set aside.
- Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side, another 3 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- To the same, now empt pan with leftover oil and butter, add the garlic, shallots, and cremini mushrooms, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan until the mushrooms are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with the Marsala wine and scrape all the caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice, and allow mixture to come to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Turn off the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of cold butter and stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce, and simmer for 5 more minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta, potatoes, or rice.

Steps:
- Stir flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow dish. Press chicken tenders into the flour to coat on all sides; shake to remove excess flour.
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir chicken tenders in the melted butter until lightly browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Melt remaining butter in the skillet. Cook onion slices in the melted butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir the mushrooms into the cooked onions; cook and stir until the mushrooms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Return the chicken to the skillet.
- Whisk mushroom soup and Marsala wine together in a bowl; pour over the chicken mixture. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts or thighs for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to pound the chicken breasts or thighs thin so they cook evenly.
- Use a good quality Marsala wine for the sauce. A dry Marsala will have a more robust flavor, while a sweet Marsala will have a sweeter, more mellow flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
- Be patient when reducing the sauce. It will take a few minutes for the sauce to thicken.
- Serve the chicken Marsala immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Chicken Marsala is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful meal that is perfect for any occasion.
