Description

A quick and comforting dish featuring tender chicken, flavorful mushrooms, and a rich Marsala sauce tossed with hearty pasta.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pappardelle or Long Pasta
  • 2 ½ – 3 lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 ½ tsp Kosher Salt (divided)
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (divided)
  • 2 pints White Button Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 medium Shallots (thinly sliced)
  • ¾ cup Dry Marsala Wine
  • ¼ cup Sherry Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix the flour, dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the mushrooms and shallots, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping up any brown bits from the pan. Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.
  8. Add the sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and the remaining salt. Stir well.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  10. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix everything together.
  11. Serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh parsley sprinkled on top.

Notes

For added richness, stir in a little cream at the end before serving. Adjust the seasoning as needed for optimal flavor.
