Description
This Chicken Marsala Pasta combines rich flavors and a creamy texture for a gourmet meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta (your choice, such as penne or fettuccine)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Flour, for dredging
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup marsala wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Begin by filling a large pot with water and setting it over high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, add a generous amount of salt. Add 8 ounces of your preferred pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Season chicken pieces with garlic powder and a light dusting of flour. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter and mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown.
- Add chicken broth and marsala wine to the skillet. Stir in Dijon mustard and let simmer for 2 minutes.
- Return chicken and sautéed mushrooms to the skillet. Fold in the heavy cream, cooking until sauce thickens.
- Add drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
