    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut chicken breasts into small, bite sized pieces.
  2. Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat and add in 2 Tbsp. olive oil. Add chicken into the pot. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken cubes completely (until no longer pink). Set chicken aside on a plate.
  3. Add last Tbsp. of olive oil and add in sliced mushrooms, onions and garlic and cook for ~2-3 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the chicken back in.
  5. Then pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, marsala wine, pasta and seasonings.
  6. Bring to a boil, then place lid on, turn heat down to low and cook for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is cooked. Remove lid. Mix cornstarch and milk in a small bowl and add into pasta to thicken. Bring to a boil to thicken for ~5-10 min, adding more cornstarch as needed.
  7. Garnish with the fresh parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Freezing: I don't recommend freezing this dish. Cream-based sauces may change in texture upon thawing and the sauce might separate or become grainy.
  • Pair with your favorite side salad. 
  • Refrigeration: Place cooled pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
