One Pot Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta

I'm a bit behind in posting my new recipes for some reason. It's freakin cold in the Seattle area and I'm
going to blame the cold.

This was a really good meal. I love the flavor of marsala in a pasta dish so I wasn't surprised when I loved this recipe. 

I did not do the one pot thing. Some day this year I'm gonna have to just try the one pot thing. I adjusted the liquid in the recipe since the liquid amount in the recipe assumes you're putting pasta in to cook. 

I am bored with penne pasta so when I have a pasta dish I usually buy bow tie pasta or something
similar. This time I bought campanalle and I gotta say, this is becoming one of my favorite pastas. They're like little horns of goodness. I'm sure some real chef, or Google, could tell me when best to use this pasta, but before I figure that out I'm gonna finish the box I have with whatever I want. 

Creamy Chicken Marsala Pasta

Recipe from Tasty.co

Serves 6

• 3 T olive oil
• 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
• 2 c white mushroom, or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 3 c chicken stock
• 1 ½ c heavy cream
• 1 c marsala wine
• 3 c penne pasta, uncooked
• 1 c shredded parmesan cheese
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• fresh parsley, optional garnish

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook until chicken is no longer pink. Remove and set aside.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and the mushrooms and onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until onions are browned, stirring occasionally.

Return the chicken to the pot. Add the stock, cream, wine, and pasta, bring up to a simmer, and cover.

*Marsala wine can be purchased at most grocery stores near the dessert or sweet wines and gives the dish a distinct flavor. However, if you can’t get your hands on Marsala, you can substitute 1 cup of white wine (240 ml) plus 1 ½ tablespoons of brandy.

Simmer until pasta is tender, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When pasta is tender, stir in parmesan cheese until smooth. Remove from heat.

Garnish with fresh parsley.

Enjoy!
