Description

A savory chicken marsala pasta dish combining tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a rich Marsala wine sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Sear until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in Marsala wine, scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Add chicken broth and return chicken to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
  8. Toss cooked fettuccine in the sauce until well coated.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • For added depth, use a mix of wild mushrooms.
  • Substitute chicken with shrimp for a seafood variation.
  • Plate with a swirl of pasta and a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan.
