Rich Chicken Marsala with Pasta – A Classic Italian Comfort Dish

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Step 3: Make the Marsala Sauce

In the same skillet, add the butter and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, continuing to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is rich and creamy.
Step 4: Combine the Chicken and Pasta

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the Marsala sauce until well coated.
Place the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and gently mix everything together.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Serve the chicken Marsala with pasta in individual plates or bowls.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
