Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
2 cups white mushroom, or button mushrooms, sliced
1 white onion, sliced
3 cups chicken stock
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup marsala wine
3 cups penne pasta, uncooked
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, optional garnish

Steps:

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and the mushrooms and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until onions are browned, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken to the pot. Add the stock, cream, wine, and pasta, bring up to a simmer, and cover.
*Marsala wine can be purchased at most grocery stores near the dessert or sweet wines and gives the dish a distinct flavor. However, if you can't get your hands on Marsala, you can substitute 1 cup of white wine (240 ml) plus 1 ½ tablespoons of brandy.

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

Provided by jenknoll

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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:

For a richer flavor, use a combination of chicken broth and white wine in the sauce.
If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute a dry white wine or a mixture of chicken broth and white wine.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken, otherwise it will become tough.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of chicken, mushrooms, and Marsala wine in a creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with a side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
