Chicken Marsala Pasta
This Chicken Marsala Pasta is a creamy, savory twist on a classic Italian-American favorite. Crispy pan-fried chicken breasts are paired with tender mushrooms and pasta, all tossed in a rich Marsala wine sauce. A hint of cream adds velvety smoothness while onions, garlic, and a medley of spices build irresistible flavor. Finished with a sprinkle of cheese, it’s the kind of hearty, flavorful dish that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.
