Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz fettuccine or any pasta of choice
Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tsp salt for seasoning
  • 1 tsp black pepper for seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Sauce
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Method
 

Cook the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and return the chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  2. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
