Chicken Marsala Pasta

Print Recipe

A creamy and comforting Chicken Marsala Pasta dish that combines tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, and a luscious Marsala sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz. pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (preferably cremini or button)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water before draining; set aside.
  2. Sauté the sliced chicken in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Cook the sliced mushrooms in the same skillet for about 4 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic for an additional minute.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Create the sauce by adding chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
  6. Combine the cooked chicken and drained pasta into the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative. Adjust the sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if necessary.
