1/2TablespoonCorn Starch
1TablespoonCold Water
2/3CupMozzarella Cheese, Shredded

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450° F.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 Tablespoons of butter. Add the mushroom and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until starting to turn a golden-caramelized color. While the mushrooms are cooking, start preparing the chicken. When the mushrooms are done, remove from the pan and set aside.
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.
Add the flour to a flat plate. Dredge each piece of chicken in it, making sure that there is an even, light dusting of flour on both sides of the chicken.
Add 2 more Tablespoons of butter to the pan that you cooked the mushrooms in. Over medium-high head add 2 pieces of chicken at a time to the pan. Lightly salt and pepper chicken. 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.
Making the Marsala Wine Sauce:
Again, using the same pan, add the chicken broth and wine into the pan drippings. Whisk to deglaze the pan and get all the flavor-packed brown bits. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil.
In a small glass, mix the corn starch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the boiling wine sauce. Whisk 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove the skillet from the heat. and pour the sauce over the top of the chicken.
Sprinkle cheeses and thinly sliced green onions on top of chicken.
Bake the prepared chicken for 20-25 minutes at 450° F. until the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
