    Next Dredge the chicken breasts, one at a time, in the flour until fully coated on both sides, place them in the frying pan, and fry lightly on both sides, flipping them over to cook for another minute or two with a low flame.
    Then add in the Marsala wine and sauteed mushrooms, shallots & garlic to the chicken along with a 1/4 cup of chicken broth.
    While this is cooking, make the roux with equal amounts of butter & flour.
    When all is dissolved together, add in a little chicken broth and continuously stir until well mixed.
    Next add in the roux to the chicken skillet and stir; it will start to thicken.
