- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup Marsala wine (semi-sweet or dry)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook Chicken and Mushrooms: Season chicken with garlic powder and dredge in flour. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until lightly browned. Remove chicken and set aside. Add remaining butter to the skillet and cook mushrooms until softened and browned. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
- Make Sauce: Add Marsala wine, chicken broth, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Stir in heavy cream, chicken, and mushrooms. Cook until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through.
- Combine and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Serve immediately with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
- Marsala Wine: Use semi-sweet or dry Marsala wine.
- Make Ahead: The chicken and mushrooms can be cooked ahead of time.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
