Ingredients
– 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne)
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup Marsala wine

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Chicken Marsala Pasta:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the sliced chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme.
3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Add the Marsala Wine: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes to reduce slightly.
6. Make the Sauce: Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the drained pasta. Toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.
8. Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
