Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large chicken breasts, boneless, skinless; cut into bite sized pieces
11 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup Marsala cooking wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 pound dry pasta + water for cooking
1 cup Parmesan cheese + more for serving
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Steps:

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet until foaming. Cook chicken until lightly browned. Transfer to plate when done. Boil water and cook pasta according to the directions. Melt additional 1 tablespoon of butter in skillet, add garlic, mushrooms and onion and cook for about 6 minutes. Add cooked chicken back into the skillet. Add the Marsala, chicken broth and cream and bring to a boil. Simmer until sauce is is slightly thickened. Drain pasta and reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the mushrooms and chicken mixture and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and cook until the pasta has absorbed some of the sauce, about 1 minute, adding the reserved cooking water as needed if sauce needs more liquid. Season with salt and pepper and serve with additional Parmesan cheese and a garnish of chopped parsley.
