Instructions

  1. Cook mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes until tender. Place on a plate.
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half and place chicken in a heavy plastic bag and pound to about ⅛ thickness using a mallet or rolling pin. Then cut into tenders. Lightly coat chicken in whey protein. Shake off excess protein. Place 1-2 tablespoons of butter in large skillet and sauté chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Do this in several batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan.
  3. Spray non-stick spray in a 13x9-inch casserole dish. Place chicken in dish and sprinkle mushrooms over chicken. Set aside.
  4. Add Marsala and broth to the large skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Add xanthan gum and whisk until it thickens. Pour sauce over the chicken dish. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan with green onions over sauce. Bake uncovered at 450 F for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese melts. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  5. Serve over cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower or by itself. Enjoy!
