Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge the chicken in it, pressing gently to help it adhere. Discard any excess flour. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add prosciutto to the pan and cook, scraping up any browned bits, for 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Stir in shallots, garlic, thyme and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until the shallot is translucent, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, cream and Marsala, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Cook, flipping the cutlets occasionally, until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley, if desired. Tips Tip: Hailing from Sicily, Marsala gets sweetness and dimension from the addition of brandy. It adds complexity to this creamy sauce. For the best flavor, choose Marsala from the wine section of your store (near the other fortified wines). Skip "cooking Marsala," which has added sodium.
