Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken slices with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and dried thyme. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and combine well.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • Use gluten-free pasta if needed.
  • Add extra vegetables like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for more flavor.
