Chicken Marsala Pasta
Instructions
1
Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain.
2
In a shallow dish, combine flour with salt and pepper. Dredge both sides of the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter and add olive oil. Cook dredged chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
4
Add 1 tbsp butter to the same skillet. Sauté diced onion and garlic until softened.
5
Season with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add mushrooms and cook until slightly browned.

Pour in Marsala wine and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for a few minutes.
7
Add heavy cream (optional) and return to a simmer to thicken the sauce.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pound Chicken Evenly 🔨Pound chicken breasts to uniform ¼-inch thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges while the center catches up.
- Dry Your Mushrooms First 🍄Pat mushrooms completely dry with paper towels before cooking to achieve a beautiful golden sear instead of steaming them in their own moisture.
- Deglaze Like a Pro 🍷After removing chicken, immediately deglaze the hot pan with Marsala wine while scraping up browned bits to create a deeply flavorful sauce foundation.
- Temper Your Cream 🍶Add heavy cream slowly to the hot sauce off-heat and whisk constantly to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, smooth finish.
- Reserve Pasta Water 💧Save 1 cup of starchy pasta cooking water to adjust sauce consistency and help it cling beautifully to the noodles for better coating.
