4 servings
For the chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
Chef's tipChoose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes. - ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- ¾ cup dry marsala wine
Ingredient noteSome brands use animal-derived fining agents like gelatin during production. Look for bottles labeled vegan or check a resource like Barnivore.com.
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
Chef's tipUse unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable. - 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cold water
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with the salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (high). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden on the outside, then transfer to a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this stage.
