Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta such as fettuccine or penne
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 chicken breasts sliced thinly
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup flour for dredging
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese optional, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Cook the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken slices with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces in flour, ensuring to tap off any surplus for an even layer.
  • Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Incorporate the mushrooms into the pan and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they achieve a golden-brown color and become tender.
  • Make the Marsala Sauce: Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the skillet to deglaze. Stir in the Dijon mustard, then simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce reduces by half.
  • Add the Cream: Lower the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, and stir well to incorporate. Allow the sauce to simmer softly for about 3 to 5 minutes, letting it thicken to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.
  • Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are well-coated in the creamy Marsala sauce.
  • Serve: Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta!
