This Chicken Lombardy recipe is not only delicious, it’s super easy to make!! Winner winner, chicken dinner!!!
This is my go-to meal when I want to serve something a bit more fancy. But fancy doesn’t mean it’s difficult to prepare!
Chicken Lombardy is a twist on chicken marsala, which doesn’t have the cheese on top. What? Boring! No thank you, give me the cheese any day!!!
This cheesy-topped meal will stop you in your tracks!!!
Ingredients for the Chicken Lombardy Recipe…
Using fresh chicken breasts, slice them in half horizontally and pound them thin. This way, the chicken browns fast and bakes up tender.
Top the browned chicken with sliced and browned baby bella mushrooms. Now…if some of your family doesn’t care for mushrooms, you can leave them off a few of the chicken breasts. But…if you love mushrooms like I do you can make sure to layer them on thick!
An aromatic wine sauce is made with marsala wine, chicken broth, and thickened with a little cornstarch. This marsala wine sauce gets poured over the chicken and mushrooms. Just delightful!
Top this entrée with mozzarella and parmesan cheese!
The preparation for this recipe uses just one skillet. That’s it! So you won’t spend the entire evening doing dishes from prepping the meal!
Preparing the dish…
In a large skillet, brown the mushrooms in butter. Remove mushrooms from the skillet and add a bit more butter to the pan.
browning mushrooms… yummy browned lovelies!!
Coat the flattened chicken in flour. Over medium-high heat, you’ll brown each side of all the chicken until it’s golden brown. So pretty!
Layer the browned chicken in a sprayed baking dish, and top it with the browned mushrooms.
Then, in the same skillet again…make the marsala wine sauce. Chicken broth and wine cooks to boiling, then a flour slurry thickens it a bit. This gets poured over the chicken and mushrooms.
Top off the chicken with the cheeses. Bake at 450 degrees until the cheeses are all ooey-gooey and beautifully browned. About 20-25 minutes.
Serving suggestions…
This Chicken Lombardy pairs well with a twice-baked potato casserole and parmesan-garlic asparagus. For dessert, a delectable lemon meringue pie finishes everything off nicely.
What a great meal for family and guests!!
Enjoy!!!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F.

- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise. One half at a time, insert between two sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap. Use the flat side of a meat mallet to flatten the breast to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat for all chicken pieces.

Let the chicken cook until light brown on one side, turn chicken to also brown other side. Once both sides are browned, transfer to a 9 x 13 baking dish that has been prepared with cooking spray. Repeat process until all chicken pieces are browned.
- Top chicken with browned mushrooms.
