Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by jenknoll

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large chicken breasts, boneless, skinless; cut into bite sized pieces
11 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup Marsala cooking wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pound dry pasta + water for cooking
1 cup Parmesan cheese + more for serving
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet until foaming. Cook chicken until lightly browned. Transfer to plate when done. Boil water and cook pasta according to the directions. Melt additional 1 tablespoon of butter in skillet, add garlic, mushrooms and onion and cook for about 6 minutes. Add cooked chicken back into the skillet. Add the Marsala, chicken broth and cream and bring to a boil. Simmer until sauce is is slightly thickened. Drain pasta and reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and cook until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce, about 1 minute, adding the reserved cooking water as needed if sauce needs more liquid. Season with salt and pepper and serve with additional Parmesan cheese and a garnish of chopped parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quick and easy meal.
  • Use a dry white wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. Cook it in batches if necessary.
  • Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan after the chicken is cooked and browned.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth for the best flavor.
  • Add a splash of heavy cream or crème fraîche to the sauce for a richer flavor.
  • Serve the Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta over your favorite pasta, such as penne, spaghetti, or linguine.

Conclusion:

Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, the sauce is rich and creamy, and the mushrooms and garlic add a delicious savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
