How to Make Chicken Marsala Fettuccine

First, start by prepping your ingredients. Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, slice the mushrooms, and cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces.

Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then coat each piece in flour. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until cooked through and golden on the outsides. Remove to a separate plate.

• You may need to cook the chicken in batches to not overcrowd the pan.

Add the butter to your pan and sauté the mushrooms over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes. Add the onion and continue to sauté for another 3-4 until they are translucent, then add the minced garlic.

Once the garlic is fragrant, add the marsala wine and chicken broth and simmer for about 4 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs and heavy cream and stir. Add the chicken pieces to the sauce and turn the heat to low. Simmer covered for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.

While the sauce simmers, cook the fettuccine according to the box.

When ready to serve, scoop some fettuccine noodles into a bowl and cover in the creamy chicken marsala sauce. Top with fresh parsley and enjoy!
