Description
A cozy and comforting Chicken Marsala Pasta recipe that combines tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a creamy Marsala sauce over fettuccine.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss everything together until well coated.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley and Parmesan if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream or use a plant-based cream alternative.
- Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition. Simply toss them in during the last few minutes of cooking.
