Cozy & Comforting Chicken Marsala Pasta: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of pasta (fettuccine or penne works best)
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup Marsala wine
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

Creating Cozy & Comforting Chicken Marsala Pasta is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is boiling, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they are tender.

4. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Deglaze with Marsala: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.

6. Create the Sauce: Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, thickening slightly.

7. Combine Everything: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
