Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 cups cooked pasta (penne or rigatoni)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add onions and mushrooms, cooking until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let simmer for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute boneless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- For added texture, sprinkle breadcrumbs on top before baking.
