  • ¼ tsp pink himalayan salt

Instructions
 

Make Seasoned Flour

  • If using whole sprouted oats to make the oat flour, add the raw oats to a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Mix the almond flour, oat flour, ½ tsp sea salt, and ¼ tsp pepper in a bowl and pour onto a large plate.

Prepare & Cook Chicken

  • Rinse the boneless, skinless chicken and slice into thin cutlets and pound until 1/4 inch thin.
  • Add ½ TB of olive oil and 1 TB of butter into 2 separate large stainless steel pans. Turn on the heat to low.
  • Coat each piece of chicken with the flour mixture on each side and place the flour coated chicken into the large stainless steel pans.
  • Cook the chicken, turning once, until the chicken is golden on the both sides, and cooked completely. After cooking, transfer the chicken onto 2 large plates and set aside.

Chop & Cook Mushrooms & Shallots

  • Rinse or brush mushrooms and slice thinly.
  • Chop shallots finely. Chop fresh thyme (optional).
  • Add 1 TB of butter into one of the large stainless steel pans that was used to cook the chicken.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped shallots, fresh thyme (optional), and garlic into the pan and cook until the mushrooms begin to brown, about 4-7 minutes.

Make Marsala Sauce

  • Add the organic chicken bone broth, heavy cream, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, ¼ sea salt, ¼ tsp pepper, fresh thyme (optional) into a bowl and mix well.
  • Pour the sauce onto the mushrooms in the stainless steel pan and heat, until boiling, then reduce heat to a gentle boil for 10-15 minutes. Keep the pan uncovered.

Add Chicken to Marsala Sauce

  • Add the cooked chicken into the pan and reduce heat to low and simmer to heat the chicken in each pan for an additional 3-4 minutes.
