Ingredients
Scale
Creating this delightful dish doesn’t require a pantry full of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 pound fettuccine or your favorite pasta
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
If you don’t have Marsala wine on hand, a dry sherry can be a good substitute. And for a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Instructions
Ready to bring a bit of Italy to your family dinner table? Let’s dive into the process:
- Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken slices, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Sauté until they’re golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the mushrooms. Sauté until they’re tender and their juices have evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the Marsala wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Let it simmer until the wine reduces by half.
- Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s well-coated with the sauce. Add the cooked pasta, tossing everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!
